Buick Regal Cielo.

It had a big retractable roof, it would open kind of like the panoramic roof on the G6. It looked cool open but when it was closed it looked a little odd. Probably ditched because it was going to be tough to make it watertight and durable. It probably would have cost too much and taken a couple of years to develop, by then the Regal would have been in it's second to last year. Not worth it. It was a real "wow, thats pretty cool option" but there probably would have not been alot of takers. My guess is that it probably would have been about a $2000 option at least.
