That was a while back, GM was actually toying with that idea. There was a thread on here some time ago where I mentioned this car. I was trying to propose the idea using this technology on the LaCrosse, or a new Epsilon Buick as a stop gap for the Velite. Kinda cool if you ask me.

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.

Before you go and buy a import brand car because of the perception of quality, do a little research and you will find GM has as good or better quality than most of those other brands. It's not cool to hate America people!
