Should have taken you to the Porsche area at the show, they had a nice Targa there. It wouldn't have the same storage space as the M4, the back seats are no where near the size of the M4, the frunk is probably about the same as the trunk in the M4 space wise, just different shape. The GTS Targa should be out for the 2016 model year. You can order it with model designation delete, just can't order it without the badge.

The whole world seems to be flipping out about the automated roof function...its cool, but looks like a lot of stuff to break...

so, i'm all set to order the new M4 convertible once we get into the next tax year. love the car. does everything i want, even though it's really a sedan. i would keep the 968 at that point, at least for the foreseeable future.
driving yesterday, having a blast with the 968, i saw the new 911 targa. i've looked it up. specs look good. pics look good. liked it in person. rear seats fold down and everything, just like the M4.
gonna go look today and probably drive it. this may change everything

Flash don't overlook this gem I saw in Pomona on Sunday. Just might meet all your requirments:
That's a second gen RX-7 convertible underneath all that high performance plastic.
I saw the new 911 Targa at the LA Auto Show - it does look damn good.

I like the looks of the new Targa but after watching the video of the top opening/closing, that has set the bar at a new height for German over-engineering...and that bar was already sky high.
