sunroof option?
 
Hello, kinda new here but I have been following forums for a while now. Just wondering will there be an option for sunroof? I haven't seen a sunroof in any of the pictures...

I highly doubt it. Sunroof adds alot of weight up high. They are trying to get the lowest weight posible.

There will be no option for sunroof, it was officially released that there would not.

Welcome to the site btw :thumbsup:

ahhhhh thanks, owell, still gonna get it :D

The reason they aren't adding a sunroof option is cause the roof design they have now was designed to increase aerodynamics, plus it might ruin the extra headroom.

And the strength of having a solid roof versus having a hole. The car is all about lateral stability so they do not want to do anything to compromise that. Also the reason they wont make a convertible.

Awesome news for me, I was really scared it would be added to the high trim if they offered it on the Scion.

Nope. I thought of several smart-ass responses when I saw it, but let them pass. Makes my posts seem even funnier to me now though.

Thanks you Toyota and Subaru for not putting a sunroof in this car...and if you think about it, there is no sunroof in the LFA too..the rich man's FR-S\86!

You know, all debates aside about sunroof weight/costs, I've never found them that appealing for some reason (I have friends that basically can't consider a vehicle without one though).

One of those weird things I guess...

I enjoy having a sunroof but it's not a viable reason to not consider a car in my opinion. Would I like to have one? Sure. Would I like the option to add on? Of course. But am I going to not buy a car because it doesn't have one? Absolutely not.

NorCalRider 12-15-2011 02:14 PM

My Tacoma doesn't have one and I really dont miss it. My Honda Odessey has it and we rarely use it.

IMO it's all about how a person gets accustomed to something. It's always difficult to go backwards rather than forwards, or upwards. What did Chriss Rock say??? Once a girl dates a guy with a car she'll never date a guy without one. And once she dates a guy with his own place she'll never date one without one? LOL You guys get the point.

I think a lot of people have been stating their desires about an option or another because they've become accustomed to having it and, like I said above, it takes some getting used to not having that which you've become accustomed to...

For those who haven't had the fortunate, or unfortunate, situation of having had these luxuries to live with, on a regular basis, it will be easier to write people off and say, "oh it'll add weight" and "this is a purist car" so on and so on...

If the designers had added a sunroof to the FRS/BRZ, I bet everyone would be thinking that it's the best thing since sliced bread. LOL :bonk:
