Automakers Offering A New Look


Glass Roofed Cars
Automakers are now starting to introduce glass roofed cars. It is essential for those back seat star gazers, also for those looking for the benefits of a convertible without the windblown hair. The increasing number of new cars and crossover vehicles that are offering broad panoramic glass roofs which are composed of one or two large panels which open up the cabin to the heavens which gives the motorists a feel of more headroom and natural light as they drive.
A leading supplier of the glass roofs "Webasto Inc estimates that the number of panoramic glass sunroofs could more than double to about 700,000 vehicles by 2012." Andreas Weller vice president of business development estimated that the option costs between $1200 and $2000 providing "almost the benefits of the convertible without the drawbacks."
With the advent of shatter-resistant and reinforcements on the roof automakers are no longer limited to the small space above the the two front seats now they can expand this to stretch over the entire top of the vehicle.
