number of 2009 Brabus in USA

[C-SMART-C]

Now we know. There are total of 2000 2009 Brabus in USA. I picked up mine yesterday.

from autonews - http://www.autonews.com/article/2009...901190360/1178

"For 2009, Smart imported the sporty Brabus model — which is tuned by Brabus GmbH in Germany. This year's allocation of 1,500 units was gobbled up in eight hours. Smart got an additional 500-unit allocation from Germany, and those sold out in eight hours, Penske says."

I was one of the 500 additional, I guess. I applied for the first set, (within 4 hours of the email) and was turned down. They sent me another email and reapplied and voila! Accepted!! But, I'm still waiting. Patience is a virtue, I guess.

There WILL BE 2000 Brabus in USA in 2009?
There are not currently that many.
Do the math
2000 Brabus units divided by 75 dealerships = 26 cars per dealership divided by 12 months = 2-3 Brabus cars per month per dealership?

And I am sure that some dealers will be getting more, and some less?
