For this to happen, you will need to finalize your reservation by verifying or changing your model and color choices, and by adding any options that you would like.

Here's hoping! Configured a Passion in blue w/ silver safety cell, tan fabric interior, and added the heated seats and gauge pack.

Thanks! Interesting to note the new message on the DDE when I went to re-check it just now:

"Estimated ETA Date:

June 2009 to August 2009

It is important to note that the DDE does not reflect any potential changes in vehicle production, distribution and Reservation Holder cancellations. Any of these factors could change your estimated delivery date. Please continue to check the DDE from time to time as information is updated on a continuous basis."

Got to sit in the ForTwo for the first time at the NY Auto Show, and was really impressed! Plenty of room, excellent fit and finish, and with the passenger seat folded down there's actually quite a bit of usable cargo space.

It may be a glitch in the software, but here's my theory: Smart USA is pushing the ForTwo as a "city car". As such, I'd imagine that they're allocating more cars to dealers in New York and San Francisco than dealers in suburban/rural areas. The more cars they get on the streets of New York, the more exposure they get, the more buzz they generate, the more sales they make.
