Anyone still waiting to simply confirm?

BTW, I have had the opportunity to buy two orphan cabs here in Albuquerque in the last month, but already have a convertible VW and am ordering a passion. If there is an orphan passion, I certainly will consider that.

Also, lots of people have talked about insurance, when I checked w/ my carrier (Hartford), they quoted me about $600 per year.

It took my DDE to show a date about a month.

Not yet confirmed.
DDE: May-July 2009.

Maybe your DDE will improve with time.

It seems inconsistent to me.
In comparison my # is greater, my reserve date is later, my DDE is sooner.

Looks like you will get your smart before me. Unless of course I adopt an orphan. I really want the car made especially for me.

Think 2010, All depends on your reservation date and local. Here in DFW I'm on the cusp could be a 2010 with my Sept 2009 DDE.

Hi Y'all, my res/confirm (not config) # is 1389, (Oct 21st 07) i read on a thread mid June that #1348 in Texas was getting his 6/28/08 from the Houston location....
My DDE months have been moving along.......early June it was July/Sept 09, then early July it was Mar/May 09, today is was Jan/Mar 09.......dont give up...(patience is a virtue possess it if you can, seldom in a woman, but never in a man......calm down guys....you ALL prove this VERY wrong )

Also if you would have reserved in 2006 like I did, maybe. I know it was a long wait, which is excelled by the increased price at the pump. DO not disspair, get an orphan, even if you have to drive across the us for one, it will be worth your while. gas wise...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you said, but nobody in the US could reserve a 451 in 2006. March 19, 2007 was the first day of reservation for the US

4 more days and it will have been a year from my reservation, and I am still waiting for my configuration email. DDE still says Jan-Mar 2009

[JIM VINYARD]

My DDE is NOV 2008 TO JAN 2009, reserved 11/12/07 #1411 and still not confirmed. Maybe soon

I don't get it? Y don't they just make more if they have the sales? I mean, there are dealers who want 2 sell them and buyers who want 2 by them...

They can only make so many at the plant and the US only gets a part of the overall production. It would be nice if they would put a factory over here to help
