You're welcome of course Larry.

Interesting you say that. When you look at the '87 Estremo and the earlier '85 F-9X, both of these designs have the curved over canopy roof reminiscent of an aircraft canopy.

That implies that Fuji design people were toying with this idea that refers to Fuji's past history as an aircraft manufacturer long before Giugiaro had a hand in the design.

Maybe it is the case that Giugiaro refined, tidied and balanced the design that the Fuji guys were toying with all along? If that's the case, hats off to the Japanese designers for innovation and imagination.
