This was mentioned in another post. It probably will never have cruise because it really wasn't meant for highway for extended periods. But Im with you. Cruise keeps me out of trouble.

Hmm, I think tossing the panoramic roof from the Pure is a bad idea. Most of the Pures I have seen have had it...

For those who really wanted panoramic roofs on their Pures-must now buy Passions ($$)

For those who really wanted yellow-must buy extra panels and swap ($$)

They added gray metallic ($)

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm sure you will) the panoramic roof was the Passion Coupe, not the Pure. In any case, I've heard a whole LOT of complaint from owners of the panoramic roof. Aside from the flimsy sun shade the big complaint was difficulty in keeping the cabin cool.

Was the Panoramic roof an option on the Pure?

Agreed about the problems on the Pano roof.

$350 extra on Pure

1. Whether Smart will make/stock replacement panels for those of us who already have Metallic Red or Yellow?

2. If not, am I stuck replacing the entire set if I ever damage one.

3. If they do make replacement panels, I guess someone could order a whole set of .... say ..... yellow, and get that color for whatever, an extra grand?

What do i do if I confirm my car before all of this comes out? And i want these new colors and/or options on mine?

you'll only be asked to 'configure' what will be available on that model. they won't allow you to configure and then change models, colors, options, etc.

I just sent in my configuration which had a deadline of August 24. With August 25 as the date reservation holders will be told that their configuration will be the 09 model, does this mean I am stuck with an 08 model? If I ask to hold my configuration for 09 will I go to the end of the line for my DDE? Toxdan
