Default Rumor.

Any truth to the ongoing rumor that there will be a 2012 911/964 type Targa with the removable folding top?

If so, a rear seat delete would almost be mandatory.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Gerry

So far everything about that particular car is speculation, but the chances are good since the new sunroof subsequently makes the sliding glass Targa roof obsolete. So there's a very good chance we'll see a retro style Targa 991! I'd say expect the Targa model in late 2012 or early 2013.
