Screw convertibles, we need some affordable (preferably glass-roof) targas. The GTO, the 350Z, the Corvette...they all need the magic of the removable roof panel (not T-tops, either).

The Vette has it...has for much of my 27 year existence. Though I don't know if the C6 has a clear roof panel available, or just the body colored.

Unless you mean power targa roof....

As far as I know, a Targa is a one piece removable roof section, a la C4-C6. Wasn't it first popularized by Porsche in the 70's?

Ack, you're right, Z. Call it a brain stutter. But yeah, I would prefer them be glass for a more open feeling.

Camaros have it... just if the new one will have it.

Popularized, yes. However, apparently the actual first targa was the Triumph TR4. They called it a "surrey top".

Camaros had T-tops, never (I don't think) targa tops.

TR4's and TR250's ROCK, I love the styling ! I never knew about that top though, thats gotta be a detachable segment of a hardtop becasue 4's & 250's like most Brit sports cars were roadsters. Im not sure who was first, I would have thought Porsche myself but that might just be that they had "targa" model. Didnt C3 have targa ?

Targas > T-tops Too bad some of my favorites had T-tops instead... like the Fiero, 300ZX, Firebird, etc...

300zx had targa as well

Bad. Ass.

300zx had targa as well

Um... sure about that? I'm pretty sure 300ZXs only had glass t-tops as an option.

In fact, I'll bet my Grand Am on it. If I win, well, I win. If I lose, you get my Grand Am. <sarcasm> Oh boy... I hope I don't lose. How will I ever live without my Grand Am? Oh my... me my. What a disaster that would be. </sarcasm>

i could check my friend used to have one either in t top or targa but i think it was targa

The ZX never had a targa.

I'm feeling the Ferrari & POrsche but I think the DelSol is about as unappealing as a cleaveland (locomotive).

Bad.  Ass.

just because of the play boy thing hanging from the mirrior. Not because its a honda.

are u sure the 300zx's never had a targa? i coulda sworn the later model (japan only) fairladies had a targa top

The C6's can be ordered with glass.

Lexan, isn't it? The earlier versions were.

Here's a few cars wiht a slab of non existant roof over the driver.... some powered by a V16!

It's snowing, hailing & raining simultaneously? I'm fine under a roof, f**k the driver.
