The Solstice Coupe is a targa. GM did this on purpose because it prevents them from having to install all the necessary safety equipment like air currents in the roof. That would have required them to redesign a few things. In this case all they did was flush out the trunk, replace the rear deck with rear hatch, and add a targa in the middle. The initial release will only have the hard targa which can not be placed anywhere in the car so plan on a nice day if you take it off or plan on leaving it on. The soft replacement will be available as an option down the road from my understanding. In either case it should be a great car. Personally if I had the choice between the targa and the convertible, if they get that soft solution out I would go targa.
