Well supposedly there will be another Targa, according to this site. And judging by these pics it sure looks like it. Well here they are:

Well, there's not much more to say that hasn't been already said about the excellent new 997 Carrera. Except this one was spied with a strange roof. Oh my, now would that be the new Targa top? Well twist my arm and call me Larry - yes it's the new 911 Carrera Targa being tested somewhere in Germany. The giveaway is the rear window and the rear corner of the quarter panel glass. Since the appearance of the new 911 is no longer a secret, Porsche could have been a little more inconspicuous by installing stock silver wheels instead of the obvious black "look at me I'm a testing mule" wheels to catch the eye of the spy photographer. Oh well, feast your eyes for all of you Targa fans out there.

That is a stupid looking targa if it is.

The sides should come with it.

Otherwise it's a removable sunroof.

Well, it makes sense, It'll keep the car more stiff... dont know what you guys are crying about. My dad is a firefighter and he has seen his share of targa cars split in half.... do you know what that means? That means the driver had a slim chance of living.

porsche should really revert back to the older design of the targa roof, without the sliding glass panel.

I must say that I barely saw any targas last year and the year before

Porsche invented the targa...how can they suck at it...

Personally I think its cool...90% of the open-ness of a targa, but 99% of the structural rigidity of the coupe...unlike a completely removable targa roof...if they were to make the glass electro-chromic (ala Ferrari Superamerica) it would be perfect

i wasnt being hostile. i was simply saying that there are differences between the models. so if they all look the same to you, then you must not know what to look for.
