From the looks of this forum, there have been quite a few holiday Smart acquisitions. We placed a reservation in April and had reached notification of March-May '09 delivery. Mike drove by the dealership in early December, and happened upon an orphan that was almost the spec's we'd ordered - and so began several weeks of conspiracy with our college-age son to totally surprise me, big-bow and all. We have seen 2 other Smarts in our area - has already turned many heads in the hospital parking lot where Mike works, and this will be the first on the community college campus where kw works.
