I think before they decide to add a sunroof they need to make an onboard trunk release first

I like the glass back look over the targa -- However the Targa is interesting ---

+1.

Sunroof should be an option. There's a lot I'm going to miss about my '97 T-Bird....

My Stang is my first vehicle since 1981 that doesn't have a sunroof. I really DO miss it. But that's not what I bought the Stang for, though.

I dunno about the T-top...I know with the '74 Corvette I've got, the reason that there's a T-top is due to structural integrity of the body. The engineers at the time couldn't quite get it so you had a targa top on it because there was too much body flex upon hard acceleration or hitting a bump; you'd basically have the car taco at the doors if the center strip was removed. Granted, that was 30+ years ago, and the Mustangs are a different car...But I'd have to agree that T-tops only look good on cars with smaller roofs, and the Mustang has a HUGE roof on it!

The Corvette's didn't have the T top for rigidity. The convertibles used the exact same frame as the coupes and didn't have issues with the bodies "tacoing" at the doors.
