Default convertible possibility: your thoughts

We all know the Z will become a convertible in the earlier part of 2003. I think everyone agrees it is going to be a drop soft-top convertible. But to my question...
What are the chances for a Targa Top, or T-top Z to hit US shores anytime over the first or second year of production?
I remember at the Atlanta Auto Show someone asked the Nissan Rep by the show 350Z (same question i had my hand up to ask) if the Z was going to be made into a hard top convertible and her response was "It is in the works, but release on T-Top or Targa is not known yet. Have to wait see I guess."
What do you guys think?

zero chance of targa or t-top. Remember, all the extras of the 300ZX (t-tops, 4 wheel steering, twin turbos, etc.) drove the cost up, which ultimately killed sales. Nissan learned their lesson and doesn't want to repeat the same mistake.
