You mean something like the roof on a Boxster Spyder?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict the extinction of the 911 Targa. With the new sun roof being targa-esque and the fact that they are now charging $1490 for it, they stand to make a lot more profit selling sun roofs than they would selling Targas. They didn't sell very many of those.

Cayman to sport the Targa badge
In a recent interview given to Automotive News, Matthias Muller said that the next generation of Cayman could come with a Targa variant that has roof panels that either open or can be completely removed.

I agree too... with the new SUPER HUGE and UGLY sunroof, they WILL offer a GLASS sunroof, which will make it almost like a *Targa*... I believe that is the #1 reason they redesigned the sunroof, none of that BS marketing.
