    Well, the wait is almost over. We hope you enjoyed the Sneak Peek series as much as we enjoyed your reaction to them.

    Here's one more until we see you in Detroit. Too bad it looks like cloudy weather next weekend...

    I don't think so. :confused:

    To me this looks like the shade made by a sunroof interior grid.

    I would be surprised if this is a solar roof, as I don't know of any current PV cell configuration with this design.
    Can anyone prove me wrong with a link?

    Edit: Forgot to mention... now we are sure about that OPEN/CLOSE button on the sneak peak #2 :)

    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.
