I would not buy a convertible Porsche (drove a convertible car previously for 3 years, so been there and done that) but here are images released of the new 992 Cabriolet:

Still looks butt-ugly to me I’m afraid. There is something about the lines that simply don’t work

P.S. I think that Hedgehog’s 991 GTS Cabriolet is much better looking than the new 992 Cabriolet! :D

Coupé looks right (even handsome)
Targa just looks odd and dated to me but I know some people like them for some reason
Cabrio the butt-ugly runt of the litter and an abomination to one's visual senses. I can't even begin to describe just how visually offensive it is and I will never understand how any are sold.
