Well if the rear one is fixed, they could do what smart did and make it out of polycarbonate, thus making it light than a traditional rear glass moonroof. The front can be a standard glass moonroof

If they did it on the ES they should absolutely have this feature on the GS. I wonder if they do it on the ES because its the best selling model

This is true, and those drivers who will can just not get it.

This is sort of in the same catagory as manual cars ... Lexus should do more of it.

On the previous gen E class, and Audis, they had solar cells on the nontransparent part of the glass that is used to generate power to power a fan that circulates air inside while the car is unattended. This basically takes away that dead hot, leather smell of most cars when parked in the sun for extended periods of time.

Problem is you may be forced to get it unless you are willing to give up other options really useful to you that are packaged together. They don't have the customization program here yet, and not even in Japan for the GS ...
