Im sure a moonroof can leak fyi.

Dear Toyota, please give the FT a sun, moon, targa, ttop, or some sort of option other then convertible. Also combine this option on the sport model.

Dear Toyota, please ignore cloud9's request and leave the roof solid. Thank you.

Eh, ~60 lbs is worth it to me personally... even if its at one of the worst places possible for this vehicle.

Compromise suggestion: we accept the 60 lbs for a sunroof but put it in the floor beneath the seats. Keep that weight low and centered.

Random_Art · 07-23-2011, 04:43 PM

so, have a giant hole that can open at will underneath the car?

Have you never been stuck in traffic when you get the sudden urge to go to the bathroom? This would come in handy in those situations.

So true... also handy to drop caltrops in the event of pursuit.

Hell yeah. Run out of gas? No problem... crank back the panel and go Flinstone style.

I thought this was quite interesting, it's from one of our fellow members.

EDIT: That's in CANADIAN dollars, i appologize ^

^Eh. I don't want to believe any of the speculations until I get hard statements from Toyota/Scion...and that doesn't look like it'll happen til' December. 27k for the Fr-s is ridiculous I'm sticking to my 23k at the most.

My girlfriend's aunt works for Toyota of Mckinney here in Texas and the only solid information she has for me is that it'll be out by next year.
