I think you hit all the big ones... would you like use to kickoff the SoCal Chapter... I see it as the largest one right off the bat. This chapter will also encompass San Diego which I believe is in the top so cities for reservations.

You bet.

We've seen reports of upwards of 1,000 reservations for San Diego. And the LA dealers are looking at about 500 each, somewhat less in Riverside and Santa Barbara. We're looking at close to 4,000 reservations in So. Cal. That's about 13% of the national total.

San Diego Chapter here! I think SmartShanna should be in charge. She will get her car first (that I know of).
And I had no idea there were 1,000 orders out of the one dealership! And they just got the sign on the building! (MB of San Diego) Expected to open 1/9/08.
I have the name of the future Manager too (his business card).

A qoute from the smart San Diego Director:

We will start contacting customers as soon as this information is released to us (some time in the second half of December 2007).

We have over 1,000 reservations for our location and we are planning to open on January 2, 2008.

Another Qoute from the SD Director:

I don't want to promise anything but if you placed your order on March
31 you should be among the customers that will get the smart in the first quarter of 2008...

We need to add San Diego
Edit Laguna Hills to Laguna Niguel

Is it possible to add chapter affiliation to the member list, easier to sort

How do you know where you are in the line of reservations? I did mine right when they first offered it but I'd like to know my position in line

Yes smartshanna, that information was from Udo Kaiser, he has been pretty open with me concerning my questions about the smart and the dealership.
