the 987 has a tear drop which is somewhat CarreraGT-esque.
THe 911 is just full on round, those lights are like Michael Richards aka Kramer, no matter how hard you try you will always see a lunatic/VW bug.

I know I'm a really bad photographer and can't hold the camera straight but here's some pics I took of it when I picked up my car.







Looks the same as the OP's.


So yeah the top doesn't open that much really...I dunno, that's just for looks. How about how it feels? I think that's more important.

I love it! Love the wheels and of course the targa. Definately better than the 911 cab!

I think it's a good looking car, but I must agree with Perfectlap, the top is just a big sunroof. Porsche needs to bring back the classic Targa.

Also, I must concur that it looks a lot like a Bug. I was watching onboard track footage of an Enzo. He was coming up on a car and I thought, "what is a bug doing out there." It was a 997...... which promptly got passed.

Where does the big ole sunroof go when opened? Is it essentially two rear windows when it's retracted? The new Targa seems more practical for me. I don't the idea of getting out, taking the top off and then storing it. I wouldn't mind a Cayman Targa.

Exactly. The big ole sunroof slides down under the rear window, so when you look in the rear-view mirror you are actually looking through two pieces of glass. Personally, I really like the new iteration of the Targa. I know I'm going to offend someone here, but I've always disliked the old Targa. The Targa's lines are nowhere near as clean as the coupe's.
