Default Please let the sun in......

Is it true that the soon to be 08 xB will not be available with a sun/moon roof? Too soon to tell or that is just it? Nothing like a sun or sat drive in the morning with window and roof open, nice!!!!!!!!!

I hope it does come as an option. If not, I'm going to be VERY disappointed in Scion. A lot of people wouldn't mind having a sunroof in the current xB. Including myself.

I dont know where you guys are buying your 1st gen xBs from, but here in the NorthEast we dont have that option from Scion. If a buyer wants one ( or 2 as they have done ) then the dealership subs that to a local shop.

I had a sunroof once, and im not interested in having one again anytime soon.

After market sunroofs suck! I had one installed "profeesionally" and my interior was ruined to the tune of $800 to fix. It leaked like crazy and they could not figure it out.

What did Toyota of Elmhurst do... NOTHIN, bcz it's an aftermarket.

If I want sun, I'll step outside from now on.

I was disappointed not to see it listed as an option either. Here in southeast those things are great as you can use them probably 8-9 months out of the year.

The XB is supposed to be a relatively inexpensive car and sunroofs are usually one of the more expensive options out there. Still, it would be nice to have the option. I'm hoping that maybe this will be something we'll see in future model years as 'new' additions.

It more time and effort to have that option. This can drive up cost as well.
