I vote removable top or hard top. Even though they are awesome, t-tops are a thing of the past and I believe sunroofs on coupes are for imports. So my vote is for removable top.

I don't get that logic at all....

I do agree we probbly won't see t-tops.

I'd like to see sunroof, I don't see a removable top honestly or t tops. But I do hope they offer one way more then vert to get air in the car

I think t-tops would look weird with the roof they designed, so i'd say removable top or hard top convertable would be sweet.

I'd seriously consider a removable top, especially it it came in clear and body color options. I certainly wouldn't bother with a $800-1200 sunroof option. As far as t-tops, I don't think they will likely be an option on the new model due to cost and safety regulations, not to mention, I don't think they would flow right with the design.

Has a Camaro ever had a sunroof/moonroof from the factory? It seems that import coupes are the only cars with sunroofs/moonroofs. The only pony cars that I know of that ever had a sunroof from the factory were fox body Mustangs. Again, this is just my 2 cents.

i hope to god they have a t-top option. Ts are the definition of muscle, imo. if thats not an option though id like to have a removable glass top. of course they're gonna have a 'vert in there. just as long as there isnt a sun roof, too ricey for me. id have to go down to team camaro headquaters and kick someone in the nuts.

Doesn't look like T-Tops would work with the new car, just no way to make it look right.

Also, you'd have to be He-Man to lift a targa roof off of this car.
Ever done it in a C5 or C6? It's not exactly easy, and Camaro's targa roof would be way larger.
I think it would look bad *** to have a targa, but the extreme difficulty of removing/re-installing it makes me think it's not gonna happen.

For a sunroof to happen, they need to make 2 roof panels.
One with the chracter lines as you see on the concept car for the hardtop.
And then one flat one to cut and fit with a sunroof.

I think a sunroof would be a nice feature to offer, although I'm not sure I'd order it.
I'd have to see how it looks first.

Some sort of targa-type top that opens via a button in the car and slides back and opens just like a removable targa top. Like a sunroof/targa hybrid crossbreed... Def. won't happen, but it sounded like a neat, albeit impossible idea to me...

For the person that says sunroofs are imprt only or only on foxbodies my sisters Fiero GT has a sunroof.

Removeable top would kick *** but kind of bulky at the same time. We'll just have to wait and see. I want some air coming in but I really don't like verts all that much unless its hardtop convertible. But that is too expensive and/or heavy for the car.

I said that they are for imports, because the only "pony car" I've ever seen a sunroof on is the 79-93 Mustangs.

A Fiero is not a pony car.
