If I was still living in NYC or the Netherlands....I would get a Targa....the silver trim I would paint flat black.....kind of like the "gold" color...but Riad might be right...have to see the car in person! And take it for a long test drive!!LOL

I like that Nordic Gold. It's similar to the Mclaren Papaya Orange. The shape actually suits the color.
I'm just wondering what other interior colors will be available with it.

Here is a link to a thread stareed by someone wondering about the Carrara White/Sea Blue combination. There are a couple of pics of the Sea Blue interior, but both are in a Cab. As I mentioned in post #17, I think blue interiors are the hardest color to photograph to get a true color sampling. I think the best interior pic is post #19.

I just visited a local dealer (Porsche of Arlington) and was told that the first Targa should arrive in November. It will be the same gold-ish color that is featured on the website. It appears they have another build this month and more at somewhat regular times. I am wondering if Porsche is expecting this Targa to sell better than previous versions.

He warned me that I'll fall in love with it when I see it...

My nearby dealer has a Nordic Gold Targa being held at the port. The car is already sold and all of the cars are still being held at the port including a meteor grey Targa that is available for sale. They've had a lot of interest in the Targa and expect it to be a big seller compared to prior versions.

I agree. think the c-pillar lines are contemporary and clean. hoping not to develop targa-envy.
