Cool, and even juicier than that is I'm pretty sure you would not say definitive unless that is information from an inside source. What other nuggets of info are there?! Spill it! Kidding, I also know you would respect your source if you had one.

Sweet! Love the roof. Have t-tops on my 81, and a transparent roof on my 17. Awesome that this continues

Sent you a PM too fatsport.

Sorry, I do not mean to be a PIA, but forum rules prohibit posting certain links to other web sites, and having been here for just under 15 years, having learned a lot here from very smart members, and my valuing staying here on CF, I follow its rules.

Don't accept anything on this forum or in any magazine, etc as 'fact'. Wait until GM actually releases the information on any future product with an official press release, etc.

Do not care. Only took the roof off my car one time. Hated it more than I thought I would.

The removable roof is a key feature for me personally.

The fact that they have to figure out how to store the thing creates an interesting scenario.

I agree. I went to dealership to pick up a camaro ss 1le or zl1 but seeing the Targa roof made me remember my 4th Feb camaro and how much I loved the t-tops. Ended up with a 2019 z06.

The HT convertible 2020 ME will have, at least from its “beltline up,” an appearance pretty similar to a 488 GTB Ferrari (though its buttresses will probably be less rounded, more sharp-edged).
