mostly you'll see rich wives driving these

that's what I was thinking, but probably the SL500 will own this segment (rich wives segment).

Porsche targa tops are notorious for either rattles or falling off their rails. I'd get a cab with a hardtop if I was looking for an open-air experience IMO.

Not only that, but I've read reports on RENNlist of guys having problems with rust on the 993 Targa's top structure, and Porsche denying the 10 year corrosion warranty because the targa top "isn't part of the body structure."

THAT is a complete load of horseshit, and I'd be livid if it happened to me.

But it wouldn't, because I'm very picky about my 911s...I like them in coupe only, with no spoilers (except the old 930), and with wide hips. IMO, there is practically no reason for buying a 997 cab over a Boxster, except ego, or having small kids who are in that twenty-minute-long stage of their life where they are old enough to ride without a carseat and young enough to still fit in the back.
