'YarisBob' doesn't flow quite as nicely.

A Yaris makes a nice consolation prize... the best part is, it's not a Neon! Good luck with your new wheels.

Sorry to hear this Bob. Since I follow you with a 1404 reservation from Cherry Hill, I was using YOUR experience on which to gauge my own, time wise. Now, I feel like I'm flying blind.

Good luck with your Yaris!

Mel

People are giving up their National Enquirer subscriptions to come to this smart website for their dose of drama! Personally, I gave up watching most news programs... otherwise I'd be scared to wake up in the morning!

Good luck to you, Bob. Stick around, as I've always enjoyed your posts.

I cancelled my reservation the other day, as well, so that's two slots everyone moves up. ;)

Listen you guys taht are dropping out, I am really sorry that you aren't getting your cars! I think there is going to be a brotherhood in the smart community that hasn't been seen since the early Beetle days, people smiling and waving at each other.

The roads are liable to turn friendly again with the smart drivers!

That said, Why, if you have dropped out and everyone is moving up a day (Two?), has my DDE date slipped a day?

I hope this doesn't keep happening :-)

I to was looking at the Yaris but told myself that if I got the yaris I would be settling. I was very lucky I only waited 4 weeks 5 days for my orphan. also I'm lucky to have 5 cars so if and when my Smart blows into a million plastic chunks and melts into the tarmac like the wicked witch of the west (as stated here by a few others, not my thinking) I will still have 4 more cars to keep me going till I can glue my smart back together. I do have a toyota echo and I love that littl car too!

I can say that about smart - I drive one.
exactly. there are plenty of cars out there that make more "sense" but that's not the point! other cars are boring.

yeah I hope the same thing doesn't happen to me, but my Yaris Hatch "S" (standard) and my Smart have to be ordered and have at least a 6 month wait on each... I hope the lil '92 toyota will keep going as far as i am concerned both would be great to have, but i have been following the "Vitz"/yaris for a lot longer.. oh well only time will tell.

P.S. did you get the hatch or the sedan? the Yaris hatch rocks!
