Order Process has Started!!

[MicroNut]

A guy who posts on the Canadian forum has just received an email from smart USA with instructions on how to logon to the official Reservation Confirmation website.

He was kind enough to post the entire contents of the email at www.clubsmartcar.ca/forums (hope it's not bad form to link to another forum, but this seemed important).

The Reservation Confirmation website it www.mysmartfortwo.com.

Just a point of reference, I put my $99 down on the first day as well and got the email to confirm my order configuration as well. I am getting a Passion in Yellow w/ a black tridon. No options, so $13,590 hopefully.

That's great news!

Where is all this taking place, Canada or the U.S.? I am mindful that Canada has had their dealer network set up and running for about three years now. And a completely different distributorship. We in the U.S. don't even have our dealers officially designated and announced by PAG yet. And our potential dealers don't know what Internet Brands (the custodian of the reservation program) knows.

It appears all of the people who have been contacted are here in the US, and of course, the confirmation email is from SmartUSA, so it is the US network.

This info relates to distribution in the US through PAG.

looks like SmartUSA has kept to its word about pricing too. The passion coupe was supposed to "start under $14,000".

This is exciting. kags, you put in your reservation on the first day? Could this mean they are taking the final orders in the order the reservations were placed? I wonder if the official price list is out now. The comfort package looks well worth the price.
