HawkEye - Is your dealer predicting that you'll be getting a 2008 Smart fortwo? If it's a 2009 edition, you may want to check some of the threads and posts regarding color changes for 2009. From what was reported, Smart was considering eliminating the yellow and changing the "ladybug red," and substituting a deeper red and a medium gray for next year, I think.
Personally, I love the yellow, so I hope you're able to get one! Just a thought.
Good luck!
