Default Why no panoramic sunroof option?

Anyone know why the panamera isn't offered with the panoramic sunroof option?

Ya I would assume just somewhat weird they can do it on a 4 door cayenne, but not on a 4 door sedan?

There isn't even a basic sunroof option on a 2-door Maserati, Bentley or Aston Martin.

I suspect that a panoramic sunroof uses up rear seat headroom, this would mean that the original design requirements for roof height and/or rear headroom change. Not a problem with the Cayenne, serious with the Panamera.

The 911 Targa's roof is practically a panoramic roof.

The 911 Targa's roof is practically not a Targa roof. Atleast not like what the old Targas use to be. I would consider buying one if they were.

We are talking about no panoramic sunroof, of course all models of Panamera come with regular sunroof(at least in U.S. And Canada).
