Better than a sunroof
I like the view this offers of the sky, without the noise or potential leaks of a sunroof. It's only available in Europe -- I don't think Vauxhall ever imported cars to the U.S. -- but maybe one of the other Automakers will give it a try in North America.

I dunno, Mike. What I like about a sunroof is that when I don't want the sun on my head or in my eyes, I can ... shut it.

But if I'm reading the press release correctly, there's a shade that pulls forward over the driver/passenger's heads.
I'm with ya, though; I'm damn near always too warm to drive with the sun on my head.

Hrm, that seems a tad kludgy, but if one prefers the "convertible" feel without the convertible wind, I suppose it would be worth it.

The new Lexus ES has a similar feature; very nice.
