A "know it all" said the vert will be a hardtop that will fold and sit vertical behind the seats. Anyone confirm this???

Unless you have inside confirmation, this seems unlikely due to the 'depth' required for that setup. More likely is something that will lie above the engine (otherwise, why not have a window above the engine, which we've all heard is not happening). The height profile of the rear also suggests this.

Your one one of those conspiracy people who love to find negatives in everything. Retractable hard tops are not rocket science they have been around for years. I’ll bet you a beer that the video is accurate. By the way I really got a chuckle out of you using the laws of gravity.

I don’t have “ inside “ confirmation. I have see the C8 and in my opinion “ which is not inside information “ there is plenty of room. If you recall the seats in a C8 can recline a lot more than those of a C7. Maybe the convertible uses some of that space. The roof is not that large.
