2009 Feature/Spec or Mechanical Changes?

[addison1062]

I know we have heard info regarding the new color schemes, but does anyone know if there are any changes to available options or equipment or anything leading the mechanical side of it all?

Rumor has it that there may be an added option of cruise control.

The only mechanical change that I know was discussed between smartUSA and smart/M-B was DRLs for the US. I don't know what the outcome of those talks was. There may have been other things on the agenda too.

When exactly does the 2009 model info get released? Sometime this summer?

From the source!

"The new model 09 should be introduced sometime in late July, early August".
I've used the conditional because I have only one source, though a reliable one: the official spokesperson for smart media communication.

And..when would we expect the 2008 model cut off for configuring to be?

No idea; configuration is in the distributor's hands (smartUSA), whereas my source is at the production's end.
