Sun roof, no. Trailer hitch, probably also should be standard on vehicles suitable for towing. Why should anyone own a vehicle with towing capacity if they have no interest in towing anything? Are we returning to cult of driving large trucks and SUVs purely for the status-symbol value?
Bike racks should be standard because people should give up the idea of being able to drive and park anywhere within walking distance of their parking spot. It's silly to continue with this idea that every destination has to have adequate parking for all visitors. Probably not only bike racks should come standard on vehicles but bikes as well.
