"Coupes are for the hard core track guys"......
I suppose that statement is technically true, but they are also for anyone who recognises that the roof line of the original 911 is the most beautiful part of what is considered a classic design. The coupe profile is widely regarded as the best automotive design in the last 50 years by many modern designers who were not born when the 911 was penned. The targa design does not enjoy the same status, to put it politely.
Enjoy your cars whatever they are, but this guy sounds like he knows what he wants and the "what you really want is a targa" remarks pretty laughable, IMO.
