So, if Porsche did offer a Boxster with a retractable hardtop, and it added 75lbs to the car, cost another $5k and took away most of the trunk room would you buy one new....? Me neither. When was the last time you saw a new Porsche Targa? Hmmm, I can't recall either.
For what it is worth, I own a retractable hardtop; a '09 VW Eos that my wife uses as a commuter. It is nice for car that you drive year round as a second car, but it is NOT a performance car. I wouldn't put up with the trade-offs in a performance car. I also have four convertibles right now, my '03 Boxster S, a '02 Audi TT 225 quattro roadster, and a '79 Triumph Spitfire.
