If you check the X6 forum you will find there are a number of folks that have ordered the "normal" TT8 and are still waiting to get them. I ordered and waited 5 months before mine showed up , some folks have waited longer.

I had a neighbor that drove a willys jeep he was upset that the jeep wagoneer came out, "just doesn't fit with whole idea of 4x4". Times change, people change , cars change just the way it is.

There some folks that think unless it is a convertible it's not a true sports car.

The financial melt down changed the world including the car world, manufacturers will produce what will sell so they can survive. Research dollars will go where the sales dollars are.
