...Becasue Porsche is bringing the 911 Targa Back!!!!!

Retro and Futuristic. Lets see if i can convince the wife to take my car instead of the Macan and i'll pick up a new Targa. Although i have a nice bed and i doubt the 911 will be as comfy

Im sure most of the people here aren't just buying the Macan for themselves and nothing else. I might as well tell people to hold off on buying a Macan because the Smart Car is getting a refresh lol.

Can we fit 5 people and all the cargo we want in a 911 Targa back?

OOoooo, I have never seen this Porsche Targa before. The back window with the B-pillar that goes across the roof is really cool.

Any idea on when this awesome car will be back on the market? Where did you get this info?

Um, no.

Give you're head a shake, you just compared a 911 Targa with a Smart Car. I don't need two cars to haul family and gear...

I already have a Panamera and my wife is in a GLK. I'm trying to get her to take the Panamera so I can get the Targa

can't say i like it, can't say i hate it, it's just not something I would buy. but it's good to see Porsche is bringing back the Targa on the 911.

 

[Bertuzzi]

I like it but it would be too practical for me to have one and the wife would call me selfish... I could hear her voice already

 

[macnuts]

completely different cars at likely completely difference price points lol

Do you think the Targa will be a two-seater or will Porsche try to cram a back seat in there? I hope they keep it to two seats. That will ensure that there is an acceptable amount of trunk space.

it could be far in the future before we see this car on market though. We will have to at least wait till 2015. What vehicle will Porsche be working on after the Macan comes out?

they won't, they won't go that far into doing this. if anything they might make it a 2+2 type of coupe just for insurance purposes.
if it happens it will probably be as bad as this....

as you can see there's very little space.

there are doggy seats. humans should not sit back there.

Really digging the new Targa. Was always a fan of the old one. And check out the new roof operation. . .

I get your want/need to make a splashy thread title - but the two do not compete in the same category for me.

And to be honest, in terms of the 2 seater Porsche's, am in love with the Cayman (blasphemy, I know)

Amen. Cayman/Boxster or GT3 for 2 seat Porsches.

 

[Wintermute]

Not to mention base price for the Targa is $115K.

 

[-=Hot|Ice=-]

Another 15k gets you a GT3.

 

[macnuts]

The Macan Turbo S even quicker – its 3.6-litre V6 twin-turbocharged engine produces 400PS, enough for 0 to 62mph acceleration in 4.8 seconds – that’s as quick as a 911 Targa.

just noting the facts.

 

[-=Hot|Ice=-]

The Macan Turbo is the bargain of the century from a performance standpoint.

 

[Wintermute]

Hmmm. . . bit of an exaggeration. SRT Jeep, RS5, Caddy CTS-V **** even a Mustang GT. .. There are a few vehicles well under that 83K that will wreck the Turbo from 0-60 and quarter mile. I'd say the S is more of a bargain for what you get.

And I find it humourous that the word "h-e-c-k" gets asterisked on this site

You can't compare the Macan to sports cars. The Macan for its class is a bargain in terms of performance.

 

[Wintermute]

Fair enough. In it's class. You didnt stipulate

Still . . . SRT Jeep.
