I wish there was something to tell us where our reservation was, I mean in the actual numerical order in which they were received by the company. Because while I understand the need for a certain amount of load balancing with respect to the amount of orders going to certain locations, I still think it is way unfair for someone who has reserved months later than someone else to get their cars first.

Here is the "official" release:
Quote:

• Total of 23,292 Units of Mercedes-Benz Cars Division Sold in U.S.
• Mercedes-Benz USA Records 12 Percent Sales Growth for the Month with 20,733 New Vehicles Sold
• smart USA Records 2,559 Sales in July

New York, NY – Daimler AG (NYSE: DAI) today reported sales for the Mercedes-Benz Cars division (Mercedes-Benz and smart combined) of 23,292 units in the U.S. for July 2008. All sales figures in this release are on an unadjusted basis unless otherwise noted.
Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today reported sales of 20,733 new vehicles for July 2008, a 12 percent increase over last July. This brings the year-to-date sales total for MBUSA to 140,012 units, marking the best year-to-date sales for the period in the company’s history. The most significant gains for the month were in the C-Class and E-Class passenger cars (45 percent and 38 percent respectively), while year-to-date growth was achieved in the M-Class and GL-Class line-up of SUVs (12 percent and 1 percent respectively).

Sales for the smart fortwo remain strong with deliveries totaling 2,559 for the month of July. This brings the year-to-date total to an incredible 13,958 units in a little more than six months of being offered in the US market. The vehicle is attracting an overwhelming number of buyers who want a solution to high gas prices, a reduced environmental footprint and increased urban mobility on congested city streets – all in a package that's fun to drive. The fortwo offers a powerful combination of outstanding fuel efficiency, innovative safety, environmental friendliness and low cost of ownership. There are currently 69 smart centers open in 31 states.

Detailed vehicle sales information for MBUSA will be announced later today in a separate press release issued by Mercedes-Benz USA. [...]

August sales numbers

August Auto Sales: Daimler



NEW YORK (AP) - German carmaker Daimler AG said Wednesday its U.S. sales fell slightly in August from a year earlier as a 12 percent drop in the volume of Mercedes-Benz vehicles offset strong sales of the company's new Smart fortwo models.

The company sold 18,507 Mercedes-Benz vehicles last month, down from the 20,980 it sold in August 2007.

Daimler sold 2,420 Smart fortwo mini-cars, which were first introduced to the U.S. market in mid-January. Since their introduction, Daimler has sold 16,378 Smart cars in the U.S.

The company's August sales totaled 20,927.

For the first eight months of the year, total U.S. sales - including Mercedes-Benz and Smart - rose nearly 11 percent to 174,897 from 157,806 a year earlier. Excluding Smart sales, Mercedes' year-to-date sales are up about 0.5 percent to 158,519.

Daimler's U.S. shares rose 23 cents to $61.44 in afternoon trading.

Trivial question - Is there any way to find out how many of the discontinued yellow smartcars where sold in the USA? I plan to keep mine for a long time and would like to know how special it is.

It's not really discontinued... the yellow panels will still be available for purchase from the parts department.
