The use of sheet metal for car roofs.
Let me hit you with this: like the use of sedans where wagons are just better, and the whole SUV fascination, the idea that a car roof should be sheet metal is a mistake.
Your car has plenty of sheet metal. The stuff above the belt line is there to keep you un-mangled in the event of a rollover, why have any more than you need?
If you can’t clearly make out the frame of the top half of your car, you are doing it wrong.
Why have the metal? Have glass, or takey-outey-panels. Plastic if you like. Windows front, side and rear are a start, but not enough. A sunroof is a step in the right direction - the bigger the sunny part, the bigger the step.
If you don’t want openey bits, make it part of the doors. Give them some glass, some flair. But do something.
I’m not talking about convertibles. They throw it all a way, the body lines, the shape of the roofline. They’re cheaters at best, ugly at worst. They’re specialized - you give a lot up for a convertible. I’m talking about regular cars - all of them.
Life and motoring are about more than boring ass sheet metal sections.
Post more examples of framey bois that perpetuate this half-cocked opinion. Maybe stay off the Japanese sports cars, I’ve gone a bit far with them already.
