I was kind of thinking that too. It is sort of reminiscent of some of the semi-transparent solar panels I've seen.

Hummm.. I see what you mean, but I keep the bet on the sunroof.

Mind me, I would love to be wrong! Plus, there are several manufacturers that put these solar panels you refer to on the sunroof itself, so we might actually be both right

I hope the light goes through the solar panel... It will be an awesome experience to ride in the rear seats. It will be roomy with lots of light.

It seems a solar panel. Could be like this?

Being a habitual pessimist, I supposed we can take a pitch of salt on this one.

Wiki anyone?

Thats what I am hoping, something like the SMARTs panoramic roof, but with an integrated solar shade

How on earth did I miss that one... thanks!

This means that although the car has not been shown at Detroit, Toyota is already showing ahead on local newspapers.

Seems like Bossdowner did them a favour after all...
