I see more and more "new 991" posts that are Targas.

And hey, I can't blame them! I think it's the best looking 911 in a long time, but I'm a bit biased!

You missed the GTS in your poll options.

Sadly there are between 20 and 30 variants of the 991, so there's a "favorite" for almost every day of the month.

Confirmed: I've been viewing the world through Targa-tinted lenses

Thanks everyone for playing along.

If this post is about the Targa, why didn't you out it in the list? Or the Targa S? I only see Targa 4/4S.

It's my least favorite. The bar scratches super easy, I think it looks funny, and it makes the car heavier and higher CG than even the Cab.

Huh. That doesn't really fit in with Porsche's general plan to make so many variants that each car produced is a different one.

"You see this is the 2107 911 Carrera Targa 3WD GTS Burnt Sienna Edition... very rare just one made."

All cars are compromises... I like the Targa 4S Best!
