Default hard top retractable?

Does anyone know if the next generation TT will feature a hard top retractable? I think audi should make the TT have this because it would be the only hard top retractable for under 60K and the only one with Quattro!

Default Or not... Audi announces Paper Mache hard top for 05 TT!

Not recommended for rain-prone climates.

Default Not the only one under 60k by a long shot.

Peugot and I think Renault both make very affordable Cabs with folding hardtops. In addition the Volkwagen concept-R which should make it into production has a folding hardtop.

The original convertible top for the TTS concept was pretty slick. Not much to it at all.

I love the look of the soft top. Fabric streched over the ribs gives a sporting look.
