This page is really unclear about the difference between a T-top or a targa top, and implies that they're the same thing. T in T-Top doesn't stand for Targa. Others have reverted the T-top page, so maybe it gets its own, or gets on "sunroof" or "removable panel roof" —Camaro96 15:05, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Photo quality
[edit]None of the photos on this page really show what a Targa top is. 107.211.215.1 (talk) 15:29, 19 November 2014 (UTC)wilke339 19 November 2014
Etymology of "Targa"
[edit]Badly mispronounced and spelled derivitive from the German word for "Day" (Tag) or more likely "Day Out" (Tagaus) which would sound very much like "Targa's" or "Tah-Gus" (emphisis on "Tah") to an English speaker. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.31.184.166 (talk) 22:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC).
- That sounds like a folk etymology. The evidence that the name is connected to the Targa Florio is much stronger. Shawn D. 12:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
What saw?
[edit]"With the introduction of the Mazda Miata in 1989, saw a revival of convertibles as recent models had roll bar incorporated into the front windscreen, Targas and T-top saw a slow decline as manufacturers discontinued them one by one, putting convertibles into favor, but will continue to produce them when it is not possible to incorporate convertible styles."
Someone please fix this. I'm not exactly sure what this section is trying to say. --Gbleem 06:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
targa band?
[edit]What is a targa band? --Gbleem 06:17, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- It's the trim strip that runs up the b-pillar and over the roof. Shawn D. 13:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
2016/17 Mazda MX-5
[edit]An expert will have to confirm, but it sounds like this car should now be added to the list. 67.198.96.98 (talk) 20:00, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
Plagiarized Articles
[edit]When adding references, I have noticed that the Glass Roof and Motorized Roof sections are entirely plagiarized. Much of the article is very close to word for word with other articles. I have done my best to add the citations to what I have caught. This desperately needs a rewrite.

- You've correctly identified plagiarism, but in the wrong direction. A quick look at the Targa Top Wiki page in 2013, followed by a look at the dates those articles were published, shows that those articles plagiarized Wikipedia, not the other way around. TKOIII (talk) 19:15, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
