Stopped by the "Smart Center" in Bloomfield today, and talked to one of the Smart corp guys (white shirt standing at entrance). He says they are right on schedule for both the building and the first Michigan deliverys around Jan 1st.
Still can't control the pix tech, but getting better. Here you are Harleyduo.
This dealership building is huge for such a little car. It's much larger then the Saturn dealer down the street.
Cut off in the far right frame is the service dept. It is larger then the show- room seen in this pix. The lot was full of work trucks and I could not get the clean shot I wanted. I will bring my ladder next time.
I'm glad the building is coming along, but somehow in my mind I thought they would be much further along than that, since they were starting with an existing building and it looked 'bare' a couple of months ago.
I know we are all SO EAGER to get that call to come to dealership for the next step. I'm curious as to whether we will be summoned BEFORE or AFTER our little cars arrive.
It's good to know that the clock is ticking down to that eventual happening.
Thanks for keeping us informed.
Those of us who live a distance away from the dealerships need to rely upon those who have opportunities to see them progressing to be reassured that it is all REALLY happening, even though we don't see it regularly.
Commercial construction can, when needed, proceed *very* quickly. I wouldn't worry (it's not like you're waiting on a major metropolitan bridge or anything ;) ).
I agree. I don't know what it is. I've had several new cars in my life, including several high performance sport cars (Porsche, Corvette, Trans Am, etc), but I have never had such excitement as I am having waiting on this little car. Tell me what is so different. You would think someone would be more excited for a fast sports car or new truck. But I'm truly excited about getting a smart and can hardly wait till I get mine. You would think I was a little kid before Christmas. Go figure.....
Not sure of the address. It's not the same as corp HQ.
The dealership is on Telegraph rd in Bloomfield Hills, about a MILE N. of Square Lake rd.
It is on the east side of Telegraph road. off the parking lot of Lowe's, (where they held the test drives).
Drive into the Lowes parking lot and drive to the far North end of the lot... You will see the Bld.
Corp HQ is in a tall office building a couple of miles South.
There is an address listed on the smartUSA website under FAQs. Click on the last question and you'll get this address:
smartUSA distributor LLC
1765 Telegraph Rd.
Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302
That's not the same address as given on the newsletters (2555 Telegraph) so I'm betting that it's at least the temporary address for the office trailers behind the building, and maybe the permanent address.
