The top would have to actually come off to be a true targa.
If you are going to go the coupe route for a Pcar in Ohio, get the C4.
C4S Cab would be my choice, great resale on those.
Porsche invented the use of the name so I suppose they can use it however they want.

from answers.com: "The word targa first came into use from the 1966 Porsche 911 Targa, though the first production car with this system as an option was actually released five years before, namely the 1961 Triumph TR4. The name was first adopted by Porsche after the Targa Florio road race in which they entered, used type of body style to allow a quicker entry and exit to the car by drivers in 1962 and many race cars adopted it especially Ford and its bitter rival at the time, Ferrari in the '60s and early 70's for twistier road courses."
