And a Sunroof isn't one of them? That's strange.

Most -if not all- trucks offer one, even these trucks full-size brothers. And it's not like there isn't roof space for one.

Maybe it'll become an option at a later point? That's what happened with the 2nd-gen Vue.

Hmmmm, Kinda strange. If I had a truck, I wouldn't want a sun roof for some reason though.

It should have. It's really weird when you think that even a Camaro has a sunroof

Kinja'd!!!

A sunroof is one of those things I want all of my cars to have for some reason. I love being able to look up and see the stars. And it's extra ventilation for those hot days.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Logansteno: Bought a VW?

Well typically a sunroof is what a 800-1100 dollar option? Maybe they figured that would bump the price too much to make it worth the RnD money on one. or perhaps it diminished the head room too much? That's the problem with the sunroof in my car, I could really use that extra inch or so of head room.

Exactly, I was thinking it might affect rear headroom. But they could do it like they do in the camaro where it slides on top of the roof rather than into it.

They're pretty cool to have, but also contribute to how hot your car gets if you leave them open, and also they can be a bit of an inconvenience because they may leak. All of my cars have had sunroofs, none of which have leaked but it would be nice to have a car without a sunroof and see how I like it.

The fuck you need a sunroof in a truck for?

I just want them to give it an LT5 and 4WD.

I could complain about the 3.6 not having the manual option but I'd deal with the pretty good auto in it.

None of the cars at my house have them and all the cars at my girlfriends house do, I prefer to have them. Leaking would be my only real concern but I doubt a brand new car would.

The same reason I want heated leather seats and navigation, because I do.

LT4* and they already offer 4WD

I saw a Colorado after I got done at a hot response at a hospital. When I was leaving I circled back to look at it - very good looking and juuuuust the right size.

I'm honestly surprised they offer a manual at all.

It was a pleasant surprise I must add.

Looks like someone didn't hear those *rumors about another DOHC V8 from GM featuring a flat plane crank to help the next gen Z/28 crush the GT350...

*(Said rumors may or may not have been started in this very post. Confirmation is neither coming nor available)

I wanna know if they're gonna pair one with the baby DuraMax

I got really excited for a second.

jkm7680 > Logansteno: Bought a VW?

You'd be surprised.

Land Rover Lr4's had a bit of a problem with leaking sunroofs at some point.

Don't Land Rovers also have electric and engine problems from the factory? Those are features, not problems!

If they do its pretty much sold me on the Canyon. I prefer the more truckish look of the Canyon.

Tohru > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
11/28/2014 at 19:34

huh, check out Ponce McBellend over here. if you want a truck kitted out like my roommate's Infiniti, why not just go for the fullsize? Those of us that like compact trucks don't want all that model bloat. Longbed, 2WD, rubber floor mat, bench seat, stick shift - now there's a truck.

jkm7680 > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
11/28/2014 at 19:35

Land Rover got you covered, no matter what kind of problems you want.

You know what, that gives me an idea..

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Tohru
11/28/2014 at 19:36

And some people want all the luxury without the full-size price and size? If you want a basic truck good for you, some people don't.

Tohru > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
11/28/2014 at 19:38

I've spec'd out a top-end Colorado. It very quickly races into full-size money.

THANK YOU TOHRU!

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Tohru

Yeah, basic full size money. You get a loaded Colorado for the price of a Standard Cab, Short Box, RWD, V8 Silverado LS.

Any car without a sun roof is a sin. They are so essential. I feel weird in any car without one.

I agree with this statement. Which is why whatever replaces the van must have one. Because no other car at my house does.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Logansteno: Bought a VW?

While I agree it's dumb that its not an option, those are easy to install aftermarket.
