There are a lot of good looking renderings being shown here but I will hold out for a folding hardtop to replace the factory soft top. If Mazda can do it with their Miata then Porsche will eventually with the Boxster. One can hope it would be backward compatible. With modern alloys and/or composites it can be made to be strong and lighweight.
Stupid question: with any of these hardtops do you have to remove the top to service the engine ?
