Targa top!! - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

No convertible. No sunroof either please. Too much weight in the wrong place and possibility for issues when the car ages.

optional. of course it's not going to be standard on all models. and quite honestly, if it's coupe only, that's fine with me also.

i don't mind convertibles...I just wouldn't buy one. I prefer a hardtop coupe though. No targa...leaking issues and added weight

Those leaking issues are absurdly easy (and cheap) to fix compared to other non-hardtop types. Its just weather stripping. $15 10 minute fix.

What happens when your ragtop gets a rip in it? Completely different ballpark.

I voted No, because the poll was "Do you want a Targa Top?"
I personally do not want one, but to see one as an option would be delightful... and I may even opt for it, who knows. But at this moment, Im leaning more towards the Coupe.

I would Like one but only if can brought along in the trunk, or better yet, a hatch like the corvette. and not had to be left behind like the solstice.

No targas, conv, hardtops, t-tops... a moonroof option but thats about it .

the idea of just cruising down the highway in a targa top on a bright sunny day is my ideal day for a good cruise

exactly why I'd just buy a hardtop coupe...I don't really need the wind flowing through what little hair i have left...

I was just messing. Back in the days, the sunroofs weren't made of glass but of solid metal to give it a discret look. Later on they moved to glass and added a slider visor, calling it to a moonroof since you could slide the visor back and see the night sky w/out freezing your ass off by opening it.

I had a '93 Prelude VTEC (here is an example) which had a sunroof but my '94 GSR came with a moonroof

oh... fuck it. i want a hard top anyways.

And no, Supra Targa's were just plain awesome.

I voted yes. Its doubtable that this car won't get some type of "top" design trim to make those types of people happy. Why not Targa? It sort of says "here's your non-hardtop sports car....but we won't do ragtops, because those are for grocery getters." (inb4 S2k)

T-tops are similar, but I'm not fond of their styling.

Stated 100% perfectly

I do want a targa top, I will be taking it to the track and all, but I'm not going to be hard racing this thing so the little bit of added wait for a targa isn't going to be that noticeable, so it will be worth it to have for when I'm not on the track.
