Pics of New Targa 4S

Well, like I said, this targa weighs too much more and costs too much more.

I think they should make the roof go ALL the way in. The one I saw and posted pics of, part of the roof was overlapping into the open-air spot.

Anyone got pics of the old targa?

Here's the old version of the Targa. You've probably seen 70 scrillion of them.

Ohh. Yeah that's a LOT better than the current targa. It almost reminds me of a t top witout the t..lol

But there are some convertibles designed like that that are considered "convertibles", like the lotus elise.

So that might have been redundant if porsche came out with that again, since the only real difference from the looks is that there is a large rear windshield.

Well, let's see how the targa does. I always want the best for porsche as a company. Means better cars for us!

not a fan of it myself, I guess it looks alright but if its a targa I agree the thing should come off, its just a huge sunroof....

The BIG difference between this new "Targa" and the old one is the roof pillars -- not the ability to take the roof off. The new "Targa" has roof pillars, and the old one doesn't. For me it's simple:
No pillars = Targa.
With pillars = Sunroof. And that's what the new one is. A 911 with a big sunroof.

Also, I read a couple of mag reviews complaining that rear visibility is signifficantly dimished when both glass panes are stacked at the back.

Seeing this $100k rear-engined Porsche with a sunroof, makes me feel even better about my Box S: better looking, mid-engined, full top-down, for half the price. Can't beat that with a stick.
