Retractable hardtops have become a net negative, rather than a positive. They add a lot more weight, they use up more trunk space, and they severely limit how a car is styled. Their original positive was a weather tight seal for year-round driving, but that's no longer necessary with modern, multi-layer fabric tops. You'll see the next-gen 4er vert eliminate the hard top and move back to a fabric top as well.
