Smart Brabus anyone?? - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

So I got an email from Smart USA this past Thursday (Oct. 23rd) and it told me the Smart USA is producing the Smart Brabus here in the USA for only 8-9 months and was wondering if I would like to ''upgrade'' my reservation (originally a Smart Passion) to a Smart Brabus! FOR SURE!

For those of you that dont know the Smart Brabus is essentially a more sporty Smart. There is lots of new features both inside and out. It has better suspension, side skirts, and lots of new and very nice interior details. (Check it out online if you want more)

Anyways I was just wondering if anyone on here also upgraded to the Smart Brabus? I did. It said that your deilivery date may change but not more than 2 months (either closer or farther in the future)

Let me know!

PS- Those of us (like me) who did upgrade to a Brabus, they will be rare due to only being made for 8-9 months and then leaving again!

Yes, over a "base" Passion. But the Brabus also includes the Leather Interior and 'maybe' some of the other options from the Comfort Pkg.

The bottom line is that, even with the Fog Lamps and Alarm, it's only about $2,000 more than the 'loaded' Passion I reserved last month. For the wheels, tires, special paint and all the other 'Brabus only' items, for me it's well worth the extra $2,000!

Big Panda OUT!

My wife transformed her reservation today. I guess we wait for Nov 2nd to see if she is among the chosen few.
