Picked mine up last summer to replace my car that got totalled. In November we went in and picked one up since we were looking at 18+ months before the one my wife ordered came in. Now we got selected for the Brabus, and will soon have 3 Smarts. Have got to sell one of the other two =) looking to sell the second one, just rather hard right now with economy.
We picked up an orphan 2008 yellow Cab exactly one year ago, and we've had our 2009 Red Cab for 5 weeks (that is from our order originally placed in 12/07). We are a 2-Smart only family - no other cars. Sometime in the next year we'll probably get a 4-seat diesel. We've been a Two 2-seater family since we got our first Smart (had a 2005 MB SLK 350) and only had to rent a 4-seater once for two days.
We've driven the Smart from San Francisco down to the LA Area, and it was fine. We're very happy with our two Smarties.
With all the orphans out there, maybe smartusa should start a marketing campaign with special pricing for existing smart owners! What could be better advertising than seeing how happy multi-smart families are?
We really enjoy seeing people respond to our "We have two" statement!
got silver cabrio...wife tried to steal it, went back week later and got her a blue cabrio in January 09. Anyone looking for an overpriced Town and country minivan that we both refuse to drive now? Have a five year old grandson and on long trips we take the 2 smarts rather than drive the damn van!
Two here......The black car is a orphan I bought in April 08....the yellow car one I ordered in June 07 and came in Sept 08. I liked the black car so much that when the yellow car came in I had to have it too. My son now drives the Bee most the time.
We also have two. One Silver/Blue Coupe and one Silver/Silver Cabriolet. The coupe was ordered and delivered the end of July 2008. The cabriolet we bought off ebay at the end of August 2008. We enjoy both tremendously. They got snow tires for the winter and they have been used for all but two trips. We've taken the cabriolet on two 400 mile and one 1000 mile trips. They are comfortable for the long rides. We have enjoyed the looks and reactions of other drivers, including the pictures taken of our cabriolet as we drove along the New York State Thruway last October. Our monthly gasoline bills have been cut by at least half, the insurance is comparable to our other cars, making the overall cost to operate much less than we had been experiencing prior to their arrival.
We have a yellow/black 08, and a blue/silver 09 orphan. One for our summer location and one for the winter vacation spot. When we needed something this year, there was no doubt. We were lucky to get a neat orphan.
