That new Astra ad is really irritating me.

Why would anyone want such a windscreen ? - Boiling hot with no privacy and a permanent squint....

Vauxhall.......I cannot understand why anyone buys them.

I actively sought out a 911 with a panoramic (sliding) glass roof!

(But that does at least come with an electric blind you can pull to stop it turning into a greenhouse in the summer)

I think it's an interesting option, would like to see one.

Wouldn't like to see the replacement cost when you get a stone chip though.

It appeals to me (if I wanted an Astra!). There must be a retractable blind.

I think it's a great idea. I hate driving a sports car with such a restrictive view sometimes. Particularly at traffic lights.

The stone ship thing is interesting... imagine a stone coming into the cabin on your s2000 at speed, it would be like being shot in the face.
