Just some additional info. for those that don't know much about the Targa, from <a href="http://www.autoexpress.uk" target="_blank">www.autoexpress.uk</a> (May 2002 review):
"The last car was based on the cabrio, but to give this one more rigidity it has been derived from the coupe."
"Perhaps the most significant difference between the last-generation car and the new 996 is that it's based on the Carrera 2 coupé rather than the flimsier, less rigid cabriolet shell."
Comparing the current to the "old" Targa:
"Even better, the rigid chassis displays none of the scuttle shake that afflicted the previous car."

Like 'em or not, I'll bet they'll be very popular at the 2053 Barrett-Jackson, particularly when, after Porsche adds more power down the road, all current vintage Porsches will seem slow and heavy. For now, I chose a coupe for the lighter weight, but IMHO the Targas are cool, both technologically and aesthetically, and they may be the Skyliner's of the future.
It's all good.
