Of course they have driven both versions - since both versions were tested. But that not necessarily means both versions will get in production as well.
Note the E92 case: both versions were tested - softtop & hardtop: to see the difference in driving dynamics. The testing results helped the engineers to tweak the hardtop version to perform as much dynamic as possible - compared to softtop.
And same case happened in Z4 case.
That's the explanation my birdies gave me.

Btw: US sales are not that bad - especially when compared to the direct competitors, and considering the fact Z4 E85 is in its last year of production.
YTD Jan - Apr 2008 sales:
TT (coupe incl.): 1,560
SLK (hardtop): 2,049
Z4 (coupe incl.): 2,680
Boxster + Cayman: 2,435
