"....The other half of the twin will the same but the the cloth top like old ones..."
The reference 'old ones' could very well be 981 as opposed to 987. And, agree that they are unlikely to fall back to 987-like top. 981's top works extremely well. At least one useful change could be making the rear trunk operable with the top up.

"We are keeping our fingers crossed on that version, but it will likely pack a 3.8-liter flat six with 375 hp and 309 lb-ft of torque from the last Boxster Spyder. We should know more soon as the drop-top is expected to make its debut this summer."

In don't care what anyone tells me: ZERO chance it has the 987 top. The world continues to more towards convenience and function and that isn't going to change with that 982/718 spyder. The tent top concept ship has sailed; elegant or not.

When I look at the 981 Spyder top I see what appears to be a long strip of the female side of velcro that I can't figure out the function of. It looks like the top should be able to go Bimini style like the 987 but it doesn't.

Maybe its to reduce wear? When I had a S2000, ppl placed felt in certain areas to help reduce the bars rubbing the vinyl top during the folding process.

Clueless is right.
