*cough* Convertible *cough*. That's one option.

There is cost and engineering involved obviously, and one of the big this is there needs to be space for it all. Given the shape of the roof and how it blends to the glass hatch, I think something with motors would be rather limited in size for useful ness.

I'm a child of the 80's and have a soft spot for the T tops of yonder years (though didn't love the leaky seals in some), but I don't see that coming back unfortunately
