Given how new both of the vehicles are I was surprised to see so many. Never saw that many TTs until about after a year.

Default I see H2s around town all the time.

...Then again, I live in the town where they're built.

Default Night I was making decision - Boxster S vs. TT - went out to dinner - saw a dozen boxsters - no TT's

It helped me choose the TT because although I liked the Boxster S - the extra price combined with the commonality of the car didn't appeal to me.

Default I love the new H2... Long drive into and around Maine this weekend.

Boston to Muscongus Bay (Think Boothbay area) I saw no H2's and 3 or 4 TT's....Mostly from out of state (CT and NY). Only 1 TTR...All were Silver, 1 Blue

Biscay Road and RT 32 from Darmiscotta to Muscongus Bay is such a fun road to drive...I did it 3 or 4 times... :-)

Default The H2 is pretty cool...someone in my neighborhood just got one in yellow...saw my first 350Z as...

well...it was copper in color, and while it looked pretty good, didn't make me want to switch from the TT...

Default Saw my first 350Z in Mishawaka, IN...

silver, we were in my wife's NB (dang it!) saw it tooling around a parking lot. Wasn't bad looking at all, actually thought it looked better than pics I had seen.

Funny though, not as "fresh" looking styling I might have expected...because of TT and Lexus derivative overtones but overall was positive. I don't like the vertical front turnsignals and doorhandles which detract IMHO. Front end looks generic, taillights are interesting, but smallish. Didn't see the interior unfortunately. Again these are personal likes and dislikes, certainly others have every right to see things through their own eyes.

Not bashing the Z at all, it certainly has a neat stance about it and has good performance numbers as well. No question though I'd rather keep my TT...with its mods should be pretty competitive with even the track model, and certainly every bit as "aggressive" looking in a less "forced" manner (something the Z listers seem to bash the TT regularly about NOT being). The added AWD is a plus where we live and I think over time the TT's design (in and out) and engineering will be remembered long after the Z goes through it's umpteenth revision change.

Note: Just as with this TT forum (and every other list on every other product I've been on)...Z owners reports of problems are coming in.

Generally however, both good cars, a bit different niche, and development at different times and therefore originally different goals. It is absolutely amazing to me what is available to the consumer now.

All of us should be happy.

Default Not really

The "baby Hummer" as we call it, is only in Clay model stage right now... I was only able to take pictures of the area I was working on...
Can't release any though... I would definately lose my job!!!
It is more or less the same shape as the H2, but smaller, the H2 is based on the Suburban, or Tahoe frame... this one is based on the Tralier Blazer/Enovy platform...
It will also come out in a SUT version (truck back)...
When I get some better pic's... I might try to post them...
