It appears that the order system of Confirmation & Configuration has changed. Initially is was very much in the order of reservation time/date. Now it appears to be a combination of location and date with individual dealers' through-put driving it. That would argue that areas of high concentration will have a high percentage of early reservers and sparser areas a wider range of reservers.

Good news SmartCard. How long are you going to wait to config?

Good news! Glad to see things moving forward for you.

Probably will do so this weekend after having one more look see at the dealer.

Congrats Seadoc and Smartcard! Gives some breath of hope for a 1367er. Lou dealer seems to be getting a steady stream of cars but the manager says he's getting little to no information from PAG about whose cars are coming. I originally thought I could choose red leather for interior (the color wheel on smartusa is not very informative about texture!), but apparently black is the only leather option right now. The dealer said that more config options will likely become available as time goes on. We'll see. Honestly, I think these dealers are guessing as much as we are!

This is great to see. Looks like a big jump in numbers. Anyone know the highest number notified to config? Looks like it might be the (or part of) 1286 batch.

I don't think the C&Cs are so much by raw date any more as by assigned dealer area (dealer area first, then dates available to that area).

Hopefully in S.E. VA there are more bubbas interested in Fowds 'n jimmie crabs than smarts!
