It was a Targa 4-S! I didn't know they made these, I guess I'm not up on my brand new Porsches! It looked awesome!

That said, I still love the look of the 996 (to keep it ON topic)!

Cool
Actually the newest Targa's ONLY come as a 4 or 4S. You can't order a 2WD Targa, currently.

The owner of a Nordic Gold Targa with Cocoa interior posts occasionally on the 997 Forum occasionally. I have to say that is one butt ugly Porsche! There is a reason they discontinued Nordic Gold as an available color.

That color is bad! And not "bad", plain bad! Unless it's a Delta 88, no car should be that color.
