How long did you wait for an Orphan?

I'm on a waiting list and I wanted to know how long you guys have waited for an Orphan...

Slightly over a month for me, although I got on before the masses followed...

I just called N.Hollywood (the one that wants a $2000 deposit) and they said their list is 100 deep and it would take 4-7 months. I'll keep my 2gs...

Got on the list in Riverside, Bev Hills, Santa Barbara, West Covina, and San Diego. Laguna said they only orphan to Orange County folk.

Looks like I really missed the boat...checking out used Prius now.

WOW 2,000 x 100 = 200,000

That's crazy!! I'm on the list in Laguna Niguel so we'll see how long it takes. I reserved in January and the DDE says I'll have my car Oct - Dec of 09

I reserved mine yesterday (6/9/08) and my DDE is also Oct-Dec of 09!!! The amount of money Smart is losing because they cant keep up with demand must be astounding and the N. Hollywood dealership is just swimming in other peoples money because of it! Too bad, hope Smart doesn't bury itself out here because of this.

When did you reserve an orphan in Laguna?
