Have you seen the placement of the xm "pimple" on the targa?

We'd sell ours for in the low $90s. MSRP over $112k

Just think I spent 20 years as a professional derivatives trader, had seats on 3 different exchanges plus a degree in finance and I never noticed.
No problem. Glad to help.

only if my 2 Bernese mountain dogs would fit!!! I take them to daycare 2-3 days a week and then for training classes. They are 1 and 2 years old, weigh about 75 -85 lbs each. Once older, they can stay home and use the dog door, then I can drive it every day!

Try those two jump seats in the back! It would be a hoot!

I had a better pic on another thread but had to delete it some time ago to save space. Here's the best one I can quickly find now...

Point is that the xm pimple is located at the front of the roof on the Targa (see it?) rather than the rear as on the coupes and cabriolets. Probably not a deal killer, but I don't like the placement.

Perhaps not as big as your Bernese, but this Dane seems to be pretty happy. Maybe you could put one Bernese in the front and one in the back

My dogs sit in the back seats -- It is a hoot -- especially with the top down -- they love it!! Those seats are perfect for pets (and little kids)! I just bought special seat belts for them too. I will let you know how they work.

btw - one of mine is 95-100lbs.

I have traveled with 2 90 pound labs from malibu to BC, to Montana, to NY... they fit, in a 91 C2, with human passenger as well. in the 997, with the additional head room it's even easier

not faulting owning a truck, i cant fit all 4 dogs in the 997 but i can fit 3....

BTW I am finding for old dogs who can no longer jump, the prius is great as the floor is really low to the ground..
