Most would agree that we HAD to keep the 'look' of the concept.
Many arguments ensued over whether or not the roof should be raised - and when it IS raised, the car loses 'the look' -- so the decision was to go with the lowered roof.......
Now -- that necessarily drives other stuff -- like sun visors. Remember: in the 2003 model year, the Federal Government phased in a head impact standard (which was the reason the 4th gen went away and the nameplate went on hiatus..)
Originally we planned on lighted vanity mirrors -- but -- couldn't put them in the program and pass (with flying colors) the head impact standard.
