Anita,

I made my reservation on Aug 24 07 and my DDE never moved from the original July-Sept 09 date. They gave me the same reply. Didn't consider an orphan, and still waiting.

I just checked. My DDE moved from July 26, 2008 to October 24, 2008 up by a month and now reads June 23, 2008 to Sept 21, 2008.

I reserved Nov 20, 2007, configured March 21, 2008.

You're doing better than I am. I'm a 1280, confirmed on 3/23 and DDE has me at 10/2008-12/2008. Why is yours scheduled before mine? Granted I'm a little out of your area, but I think Laguna Niguel (my dealer) is the next closest dealer.

You're right, this is very frustrating. I sent a letter to Ken K last week with some of the delivery dates from this site. I doubt it will make a difference, but it felt good to complain about it.

Well, since cars are done in batches according to color, I would imagine that any positive movement would indicate that there was a spot available for whatever color tridion/panel the OP ordered so it got moved up to that batch.

If they're going to do a batch of 12 silver tridion Smarts, and there's only 10 silvers in the current que, then they STILL need to do the 12 they've scheduled. So two from the next batch would be moved up to this batch.

Your pal,
Meat.
