Is it all about the Roof .... on a Coupe
I would vote for the Pan roof because it brightens up the interior on a cloudy day and makes me feel good looking up through it when I suddenly remember I have it and then open the blind..goes down well with passengers too.. Its the best option to have IMO.

My vote is for NO roof and IRR...I may be a little biased
Seriously though;
Carbon:
1. The weight saving from Aluminium to Carbon is negligible
2. Stone chip the carbon roof and you are ferked
3. There is a history of more than one car losing its' carbon roof - sure I guess they use a stronger bonding agent now
4. Makes the cabin dark and gloomy
Pan Glass:
1. Makes the cabin airy and light without being too bright
2. Bit of a greenhouse in the summer
Body colour:
1. Hate to admit it, but the F type coupe does look sexier than the vert (just like the E-Type)
2. Can be wrapped any colour or texture
3. Makes the cabin dark and gloomy
Sunroof:
1. Leak prone
2. Greenhouse in the summer
3. If it was similar to a Webasto, then it may work, but looks crappo and leaks like a sieve
So, Carbon for me is a no no, especially when I can have the roof, wrapped in a good quality carbon film for a 1/5th of the price, pan glass is nice, but I find all hard top F's a bit claustrophobic.
I think a Targa would be a nice option....sorry o.p what was the question?
