Besides stating the obvious about their epic layers of bladed awesomeness what do you want to know?

Louvres are a way of blocking overhead sunlight from coming in through the rear glass while still allowing the driver to see through relatively unobstructed. Doesn't do anything for low sun, but that light is also less intense, so it's a pretty neat solution.

I remember them from the 80's camaros/mustangs/etc. but never understood what they were for. Well if that is what they are for then we should just get louvres on every window..
