which 2008 usa smart model type did you, or do you plan to, order?

Hey Mr Cash,

You seem to have this poll thing down. How about a full color combo poll (all twelve combinations of tridion and body panels)? And how about a poll on who's going to order power steering (either as part of the comfort package or a single option)?

the current poll setup only allows a maximum of 5 variables at a time.

to forum operators: can you increase the current poll variable limit to 12 from 5 now, to enable doing a full color combo poll?

Passion coupe. A lot for the money!

I own a Miata so no need for a Cabrio, the Passion Coupe will be my daily driver.
My wife is interested in driving the car too so I'm getting the Passion mostly for some of the features she wants like panoramic roof, electric windows, stereo.
If it was only for me it would be a Pure with A/C and alarm.

The Passion certainly does offer a bunch of extras for the incremental cost over the Pure. Great package value.

The idea of an inexpensive convertible is VERY appealing. However, with Wisconsin winters and not wanting to replace and take care of the soft top. I'm going for the practical Coupe. If I lived on the West Coast or the South, I would definitely get the Cabrio.

Per Penske of the reservations made about 5% pure, 60& passion and 35% cab. So the poll is pretty close to what 34,500 have reserved.

I wonder if the lack in interest in the pure will mean its eliminated once it doesn't sell enough examples. Maybe prices for the pure would be dropped (very unlikley) or US car rental companies could scour a deal to start renting them, as they do in europe. A pure with AC and a radio is all you need for fleets.

I think the interest in pures will pick up a lot once PAG begins releasing them for fleet use. I can see companies like Geek Squad and DHL Courier all over them
