DDE Changed

My DDE changed the other day from November 2008-January 2009 to 9/2/08-12/1/08. Once it becomes specific like this does it start to change more frequently...or does it all vary?

i don't know about frequency over time, but it will change quite a bit - perhaps 10 or more times between now and when you get confirmation that it is being produced and VIN has been assigned.

the only thing i have been able to confirm is that, in the few weeks prior to production it may change frequently, even daily, by 24-48 hour increments.

my theory is that this is due to it's correlation with the actual scheduling system used by hambach to manage production.

Both of mine moved up, My first one (1278) moved from 8/21/08 - 11/19/08 to the new dates of 7/26/08 - 10/24/08

My second one (1500) moved from June - Aug 09 to May - July 09

It appears everything moved up about 30 days.

My DDE also moved from Nov. 08 - Jan 09 to Oct.08 - Dec. 08. #1249 if that makes any difference. Why is everyone getting exact dates as I'm only getting month/year.

I'm #1404 for a Blue with Black Tridion and Black Leather Passion. No cabrio for me since Philadelphian's already cause me enough grief with my van (at least 10,000 dollars in damage/repairs in the last 8 years due to breakins, vandals. I don't need to tempt the animals with a cloth roof!)

My date has changed monthly since configuration in March. First it was 9/25/2008 - 12/31/2008, then the next time it was 7/23/2008 - 10/21/2008, last month it was 6/25/2008 - 9/23/2008, now it is moving backwards to 7/12/2008 - 10/15/2008. Thought I was moving up, and now I'm moving backwards. I keep telling myself, soon****soon.
