911 Carrera Targa Loses Top in Detroit, We Lose Our Minds
One look at the Porsche 911 Targa and you will be sold, if not for its sleek, roll-bar-accentuated profile, then for the way it turns itself into a topless beauty. There are plenty of videos below for you to see the targa-top mechanism in action. Watching it in operation is awe-inspiring, making you feel like [...]

I couldn't agree more.
Maybe it it was a glass top it would make more sense. As it is now, is just a "1/2 cabrio"

I like it. Call me a minority, but always liked the classic Targa. To each his own.
If they had it when the 991 came out originally, I'd be in it now. Unfortunately, I'm currently committed to my blue beastie.
Did I mention this before? It reminds me of a female softball player with a pony tail and headband. Let me clarify, a female college softball player, else I get tagged as a perv.

Watching the top open and close, I had the following thoughts:
- maybe price gouging on various options over the years allowed them to develop this Targa design
- it's too heavy
- it needs 50 more hp
Sorry in advance.

Come on guys we know the deal all of the models role out in the same sequence and if you don't wait for your car you will miss out but let's review so we are clear for those that may not know:
At launch: C2/C2S, C4/C4S C2/C2S, C4/C4S cabriolets
50th Anniversary Edition
Turbo, Turbo S, and cabriolets (February deliveries)
The GT3 (which I am lusting over just this past Monday)
Targa, Targa 4 (where we are currently at this week)
This spring the GTS, GTS 4, and cabriolets arrive (this one may be an option for people like me that could not get a GT3)
GT3 RS (Fall or Xmas?)
2015 GT2, GT2 RS
I think that is the whole range given a speedster and maybe a sport classic version (I would not mind having one of those too) for the US.
