Re sunroof: probably because of complaints from people who accidentally leave it in tilted position when they meant to close it, and then it rains...

Re highbeams: makes sense since the LCI uses the new rings as DRL's already. However, I wonder how fast the xenons can flash on since they can take a few secs to be fully on. Plus, what would happen if you flash it a few times rapidly... that may be bad for the ballast for power to surge repeatedly thru it like that.
My LCI still has the seatback net (and the cig lighter, but that is another issue).
