Got rid of my 08 Passion today

And got an 09 Metalic grey. Love this thing.. The 08 was an Orphan.
A fine car in itself but I wanted to start with a new one. And loved that color. So I hope this one runs as well.

Let me rephrase

My first Smart was used off a used car lot. The new one is from a Smart Dealer new off their lot. So I guess from other posts I just read that the new one is an orphan. Hey Im new here heh heh. I will get caught up

Congrats!

Yeah you confused me a little, I never have heard of a used Orphan!

Enjoy your much newer 09!

I believe a 'new used' is what they call last years models that did not sell last year but can not be sold as new this year since it is not this years model; IIRC.

Old old, new new, old new, new old.....regardless, CONGRATS!

When the 'new' Gray Metallic first came out, I was disappointed. But after a while, it's really grown on me.

Both the wife and I really like it now. Maybe a 'Gray Metallic' is in our future............our distant future!

I was at a customer appreciation day at Smart Center Edison. I saw a Smart in the gray color. It looked really smart. My Dad liked it too.
