I saw this concept at the car show today. It was very cool.

Nissan FORUM Concept
Nissan revealed its FORUM Concept at the Detroit auto show, following a preview in December. Intended to showcase Nissan's advanced minivan design study, the FORUM features "an advanced Bose Media System with proximity sensor-based information controller, a one-button audio muting system, 2nd and 3rd row monitoring cameras, and individual seat-mounted speakers for every row."
The interior of the FORUM will be very similar to the recently unveiled Nissan Intima Concept. The FORUM features trackless sliding doors and no B-pillars, aiding in entry and exit. The Forum was penned at Nissan Design America.
Like we reported last month, the FORUM will feature swiveling second row seats — as shown in the latest sketch — similar to those found on Chrysler's minivans. However, Nissan's version swivels the entire second row bench at either 90 degrees — to make getting into the third row easier — or 180 degrees to face the third row bench.
While the FORUM doesn't actually have a powerplant between its front fenders, Nissan says a clean diesel would be the engine of choice — the same powerplant that will be used in the U.S.-bound 2010 or 2011 Nissan Maxima diesel.
Very cool. Here's some pics, more at the link

I'd think so too. I have to be sure to close the shade on my sun roof. I'd hope they'd have some type of shade for it.
It was very futurist looking. The swivel seats were very cool.

leather seats are already murder in the summer, especially if you are wearing shorts. that glass rook would just make it worse. and what happens if that sucker rolls?

Alas I know this. I think I burned my inner thighs once in a bf's BMW.
I have the fake leather in the Beetle. With it's huge windshield, I have to be sure to use the sun shield in the summer and always close my sunroof shade.
