e.g. have they designed a flush body panel covering like the M3, A4 or just about all the new convertibles these days or are they tucking in the outside of a roof panel like the P-cars? Just tell us they have ditched the tonneau cover and the unsightly exposure of the inside of the front of the roof when folded into the back of the car.

I am off for winter break during the old dates, but now I don't know if I'll be in town or not (up north for school).

but 99% of us rdstr owners don't use it because it is such a pita to put on and take off and it takes up valuable trunk space so you can't use it on a trip (which is why the Stratmosphere folding canvas tonneau is nice).

The Z4, 911 Cab, and Boxtser all do a nice job of flipping the roof when it is folded down so the outside is showing and it folds nicely in the storage reservoir for a nice flush fit which would be fine for me....I don't need the built-in body panel that folds over like many of the other new convertibles (A4, SLK, M3, 3, Solstice, SL, CL, Volvo, etc.) but would take it if that is what Audi did. I know Audi gets this because of how nice the A4 Cab works/looks.

I just have this feeling though it is the same design as the current TTR which is a big disappointment...I'm hoping I'm wrong...we'll see.
