Really love that. That looks really very very nice. Great to see the old hoop design right down to the ridges.

not feeling it. Was never fan of the 70's, 80' or 90's targa.

Very cool. Loving the innovation to get the roof stowed. Thanks for posting.

Form does not appear to follow function...it's a bit contrived in order to look retro.

There are always targa haters..I was a lover as child, and not so big on them as an adult, now I am digging them since I found a cheap 964 targa.

I can't wait to see one of those tops function in person. Looks like a really impressive piece of engineering.

WOW! Was wondering how they were going to make the roof disappear! I do like the last gen Targa with the full glass roof - but the new one has a bit of the retro look - looks great IMO.

Wow as a former owner of a BMW 335i hard top convertible this is now by far the best hard top convertible (I know not a true convertible).
