Because they are French and they have a lot of anti-work rules that we do not have. No joke.

Most likely April/May time frame. Just my guesstimate though.

I'm a 1239 and haven't gotten my email yet.....though I see that someone else here in SoCal got their's yesterday - and they reserved 4 hours after me!

I have a reservation number of 1188. I reserved April 3, confirmed on November 9. That's 8 months in between. My confirm e-mail said I should get it first HALF of 2008. I'm in AZ and I called yesterday to the dealership to see if I could get a more accurate time frame... silly me for thinking that. I was told that they only get a list of names to call when the car goes into production. I'm not on any list they have yet and was therefore my Smart isn't even in production. I would be really surprised if someone with a 1200 and over reservation number got their Smart in April. In fact, I'm pretty sure that my confirmation letter meant first half literally and I will get it in June. However, try think positive-interest rates are falling. If you need to get a car loan-you'll be paying less interest.

That's actually 7 months in between and pretty much the same as everyone else around that time frame. I estimate you may get it in April assuming about a 5 month wait from configuration day.

Yes, hopefully you'll get your configuration e-mail any day now. The longest I've found is about a 262 day wait to configure. You're at about 244 days right now so hopefully soon.

I'm thinking that the 1200-1300 groups may have a little bit less of a wait because the initial rush of reservations. Then as more info was made public #'s rose again, thus a longer wait time. But then I really don't have the numbers to back it up. I never heard of the smart until the very day I placed the $99. reservation. Sure glad I did

I reserved on 04/01. I configured on 11/9 and am an 1186. I am assigned (assuming as it's the closest and they say so as well) to Universal City in L.A.

Today I received an email stating:

I called as I was confused......I spoke with Jason and he was able to verify my reservation and configuration. I told him were they calling to see if I really really really wanted what I had ordered and he said no, he did not know why I got this. I said, well if I wanted to make a change (like delete the PS), would I go to the end of the line and he said no, it would delay your delivery by a month.

I will call this Michelle Fenner tomorrow. Who wants to bet I get a different answer?
