They decided this car would be targetted at people who didn't see value in a sunroof, big V6, longer wheel base, rear passenger comfort, etc.
I always worry when people try to justify volumizing a niche car...

I don't buy it, because the same could be said about navigation, leather seats, heated seats, dual zone climate control, Xenon HID head lights, and all the other crap that comes with the BRZ. Yet the BRZ is a very popular model and without it the interest in the car over here would be less.
I appreciate the people who want a comfortable somewhat luxury daily driver and a sun roof is important to some people. It's not like they would have to drastically re-engineer the car to fit a sun roof, both Toyota and Subaru have all the parts just lying around the factory.
Anyway, whether they do or not - I think offering it as an option wouldn't be as bad and sacrilegious as some of you are making it out to be. It's a personal preference that doesn't really affect the weight or vehicle dynamics significantly, so no need to make others feel stupid for wanting it.
