I understand the shape of the roof has something to do with it but there has to be another way. It seems like the sunroof only opens halfway when it's over the roof like in the GTP's. Ah well still better than the reverse mohawk IMO.
WOW, nice find! I have to say that I agree with you a little, but having not seen one in person yet, I'm going to reserve judgement. I love my T-tops and the sunroof on the wifey's Jetta, however, I think I'm still sticking with the 'hawk

I wonder that too. It would seem it would be subjected to a lot of beating from the wind and whatnot. Who knows though? I'm sure GM is considering and testing all these details and we ultimately won't find a real objective fault with the design. I think they want to get everything right on this car.

That makes total sense.

I want the opening as large as possible myself.

I believe that's called a 'Spoiler Style' sunroof.
That's a good point too. I would prefer as big an opening as I could have. The mechanisms for sunroofs are too small so maybe orienting it in this mannor is a efficient as they could make it. If so, kudos
