It was a Targa 4-S! I didn't know they made these, I guess I'm not up on my brand new Porsches! It looked awesome! That said, I still love the look of the 996 (to keep it ON topic)!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Pics or it never happened.... Never knew they made one.

OK... Just re-read.... YeH the 997 targas are wide bodies. Same as the gt3rs. Bad *** indeed.
Actually the newest Targa's ONLY come as a 4 or 4S. You can't order a 2WD Targa, currently.
$104k base too!
Saw one in Artic Gold (think that was the name of the color) looked swanky !!
The owner of a Nordic Gold Targa with Cocoa interior posts occasionally on the 997 Forum occasionally. I have to say that is one butt ugly Porsche! There is a reason they discontinued Nordic Gold as an available color.
Pics of butt ugly? now, be nice....
I liked it - till people told me it was ugly, now a hate it
I hated it - till people told me it was ugly, now I love it

My Father had an Oldsmobile that color!
That color is bad! And not "bad", plain bad! Unless it's a Delta 88, no car should be that color.
I don't mind the color of the car, but those wheels are *** ugly.
LOL, that car (well, a non-S actually) has been my desktop image for about a year:
Come on, guys, is this the Silver 996 Forum? Seems that the only colors that are universally liked are silver or black. Boooooring. Bring me something that shines as different - I like the looks of that car!! larry
???

Hey, I'm not a big fan of silver either, despite owning it... but that Is a raunchy color. How about some Mexico blue
The new Targa 4S's are beautiful!!
I like the color. It is very unique, to say the least. I do remember my neighbor having an Olds Cutlass in about that color in 1970 however... You like or not- look at the love/ hate comments about the "kermit green..."

OK Ferd, you asked for the pics...... don't blame me if they hurt your eyes! BTW, I really dislike the Cocoa interior color. If I had a car with that color interior, I am afraid that every time I got in it I would feel like I had to take a s**t!
^^^ thanks Tim.... That color would rock on a 60's/70's 911. On a modern 911.... not so much.
ouch... an autotragic too... :-(
+1 Ferd, color is right, just not on that car and while we are ragging on the 997's the gas/brake pedals look like a Buick too

Hey, what the hell's wrong with Kermit Green??????? larry
I agree yet again - a coco interior, in a gold car? Yikes! That color belongs on one of those '32 Coupe hot rods.
When you have a Porsche with that loud color you can get away with anything. I bet it looks great in person. I get enough attention with a black Porsche. Cops are always tailing me around, I think they are just looking at the 911. I once saw a guy in a yellow Ferrari. I met him down town at the NAVY academe. He had yellow Ferrari shoes, yellow Ferrari hat, and a yellow Ferrari leather jacket. I said to him, if I had a yellow Ferrari I would wear the yellow shoes too. You should have seen the grin on the old man’s face…
