Um, didn't you notice that BEFORE you bought it? I could see b!tching about a car if it was full of mechanical problems or something but to complain about something like not having a sunroof is pretty lame imo. Thats like complaining about not having an automatic when you knew you were buying a MT.

No, they aren't at all impacted by the presence/absence of a sunroof. Side impact air bags are standard on the G35 Coupe, and 3/4 of the G Coupes have a sunroof as well.
The side impact air bags come out the side of the seats, which is why they recommend not using any sort of aftermarket seat covers on our cars.

BikerChickSI I agree .. T-Tops would look hot too
You have all these car makers bringing back the old school look (IE Mustang) , why not bring back the old school tops ? Just with a little more modern functionality ...

The only thing that might cause trouble with a T-Top or Targa Top and SRS airbags, could be that there is an impact sensor cable that travels along the edge of the door/roof on each side of the car. This could easily be relocated to the bottom of the door if Nissan/Infiniti ever wanted to make a T-Top or Targa Top.
As a matter of fact, assuming you can get side-impact airbags on the 350Z Roadster, I imagine this is what they must have done for that car.

Didn't anyone see a 350Z with a sunroof on eBay? It looked horrendous, it looked like that Lambo cut. Sunroofs and T-Tops will cause problems down the road, had problems with our Honda Accord and a Trans-Am. I would really love it, if they make all car stereos equipped with volume-limiter.

I personally love sunroofs. This was my one negative thing against the Z. I did not want the roadster, as I thought that the coupe looked better and as I am not really very into convertiables.
I have a sunroof in my cougar and I love it. It is the type that slides back, and it doesnt look too bad. Of course, it would probably look terrible on the Z, but it doesnt look half-bad on the Cougar.
In all actualitly, the coupe not having a sunroof pushed me towards the G35. I havent bought either one yet (am still around 2 years away from buying due to school), but will probably buy the G35 for two reasons: back seats and the sunroof. If it was just one of these htat the G35 had over teh Z, I would probably go with teh Z. But, the G35 has the potential to give me everything I want, as it has a sunroof. So, due to the Z's lack of a sunroof, they have very potentially lost a sale. Unless, of course, they include one as an option in the next two years. Then I have to debate which car I want all over again.

Keep your options open when that time rolls around.

350z is meant to be a performance car
sunroof makes the car heavier and the chasis less stiff.
Most of the "more" performance oriented cars/models dont have sunroofs. Just look at the DC series integras the GSR model has a sunroof but the Type R doesn't
