TARGA /T-TOP Crossfire!
TARGA /T-TOP Crossfire!
Can anyone please address the current rumor that a targa or T-top version is coming out in 2005 or 2006...?
Also, does anyone have any info on picking one up directly from the plant near Hannover, driving it around Germany/Central Europe, then cargo shipping it home and avoiding the taxes and fees on purchasing a new car? (much like the program SAAB used to have)

Not a convertible but the square piece of canvas top that folded back like an accordian. Like the 60's VW bugs. Again, I'm not sure how reliable the info is, it came from the service guys. We'll see. Paste this link into your browser.

Sure, the roadster looks good, but you lose that sweet sloping hatch back-end with the convert, and I can't speek for everyone but thats what sells the CF to me. A set of t-tops or rag top style or targa would give that open effect (still no sunroofs planned, keep in mind) and still preserve that back end...
True, but I like the groove down the center of the roof that compliments the hood, as do many other folks. I have a better suggestion, that does not comprimise the vehicle's stability as do some open cockpit arrangements do:
Two removable roof section pieces above both passenger and drivers heads, similar to the t-tops of the early 80's corvettes or some past ferraris, leaving behind a center piece about 6-8 inches wide down the center of the roof, to hold upper frame beam(s) dome light, etc. Roll down the windows and you have a sweet looking ride! Perhaps even upright slot compartments on either sides of the cargo area in the back to hold them, they wouldn't be more than 3 sq ft / 2 inch wide sections.

I should have quoted it.
Really tho guys, what do you think of my suggestion? Worthy enough to send to Karmann/Germany/SLK plant near Hannover...? I suggest doing it that way instead of direct to Chrysler since I believe the Euros would be far more interested in it. Is there a specific name for those type of tops, or is "T-tops" the standard for them?
