If I was to buy a GTS new I really think I'd opt for the five bolt wheels. Carrera S wheels I guess. Those look nice in black I think.

Interesting 944, if you're into these things: https://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/cto/5996399160.html

One of the newer Targas drove by our house the other day. I was astonished by how ugly it was in person. In pictures it looks kinda okay, but in person it's really ungainly.

I saw one in SF last week also. I had the same impression. Yuk

One thing I do not like is that it is a german over engineered rube goldburg targa

I always thought the 70's Targas were the worst of the 911's. Hideous.

I've thought about a 944 (or the newer 968) for a fun commuter mobile... But not for the price that one looks to be getting.

In my time with the P car, the guys that I have talked to seem to have great things to say about how it drives (with one request - MORE power. Queue Tim Allen voice

)
