Does the moonroof reduce headroom?
In days gone by, a sunroof or moonroof used to reduce the available headroom due to the extra thickness of the nechanism in the headlining.
I see no mention anywhere of different headroom figures with and without the moonroof. Perhaps the mechanisms are sufficiently thin that they make no discernable difference these days. Does anyone know for sure?

I doubt it.. Unless the "standard" roof without the moonroof is made the same thickness as the one with the moonroof, there should be a reduction in headroom.

I dunno... FDs with sunroofs had about 2" less headroom due to the extra reinforcements in the roof. But I think that the RX-8 has a good deal more headroom to begin with, have the told us how much headroom there is yet?

Hahaha.. good point.. almost makes me want to take my helmet to the Detroit show.. :D I'm 6' tall and barely fit in my Prelude with a helmet. Curious how high the seat is.. apparently it's a little higher to allow foot room for the rear passengers? This could make all the difference.
