doesn't really matter to me.
Targa top,
targa for short, is a semi-
convertible car body style with a removable roof section and a full width
roll bar behind the seats. The rear window can be fixed or removable, making it a convertible-type vehicle. In common usage, any piece of metal or trim which rises up from the side of a car and continues in an uninterrupted line over the roof and down the other side may be called a targa band, targa bar or a wrapover band. Targa tops are different from
T-tops, which have a solid, non-removable bar running between the top of the windscreen and the rear roll-bar.
A
convertible is a type of automobile in which the roof can retract and fold away, converting it from an enclosed to an open-air vehicle. Many different
automobile body styles are manufactured and marketed in convertible form.
Roof designs vary widely, but a few characteristics are common to all convertibles. Roofs are affixed to the body of the vehicle and are usually not detachable. Instead the roof is hinged and folds away, either into a recess behind the rear seats or into the boot or trunk of the vehicle. The roof may operate either manually or automatically via hydraulic or electrical actuators, and the roof itself may be constructed of soft or rigid material. Soft-tops are made of vinyl, canvas or other textile material, while hard-tops are made of steel, aluminum, plastic or other rigid materials.
Contemporary convertibles are known and marketed under several different terms due to the convergence of body styles over the years. A soft-top convertible may also be referred to as a
cabriolet or
cabrio, although two-seater soft tops often retain the name
roadster, referring to their body style. Hard-tops are marketed under the terms
coupé cabriolet,
coupé convertible or simply
retractable hardtop, while two-seaters more commonly use
coupé roadster/
roadster coupé.
