News from smart dealer

I was in the local smart dealer today discussing my new orphan (YEA! still praying tho...) when the subject of my configuration came up. I told them I still had not configured, and they told me the next mass configuring will be in October I didnt even know they did it en mass. I asked why, which they said that the factory was shut down for two months for holiday (vacation for you yanks) and it was common for Europeans to do this. AND that it trickled down that smart DID add the third shift, and have stopped '08 reservations. They are now '09s. They did warn me that the info was not "official" but did come from smart.

Just a heads up...
Don't shoot the messenger... or my smart dealer for that matter... please?

That does imply though that there are '08s in the pipeline still for people who have been on the list

Yes, if you reserved an 08, I think you will get one.

I would only go so far as saying if you got a DDE of '08 you're getting one...

No, that's not what I was led to believe. I was told I would receive one, and I wont get one till next year.

I'm idly speculating. I "inherited" my orphan, so it's academic to me.
