The latest from Aristocrat. (hopefully facts as they were given to me and not colored by me)

They have not completed the electrics for the showroom and have not installed the Signs and smart will not announce them as the dealer until they complete these tasks. The signs are supplied by smart and those have not arrived. (No announcement, no cars)

Smart will not give them the customer reservation list until the tasks are completed.

No potential dealer has gotten official notification from smart, as of yet, that they are the dealer.

The cars cannot be put on the street before tomorrow.

They think that by the 15th they will have 6 cars, 3 show room and 3 for test drives.

They believe that on the 15th they will have a couple of cars to deliver, but that is iffy.

According to aristocrat, the cars at the docks have to be removed by the end of the year or they will be taxed so there is great movement to get the cars on transportation to the dealerships.

Got a call from my "unofficial" dealer today. He said that he would have the reservation list within a few days and should be letting me know where I stand by the end of next week, so there seems to be some progress.

The smart center in Kansas City, Located at Aristocrat MB, Saab,Porsche, Land Rover and Jaguar. Occupies a corner of the building that was originally the AMG lounge.


The MB building

There is no street in front of the building, just the freeway.


The entrance, the covered area in front of the entrance is where the MB's enter for service.

I have 2 "The Smart Story" books left. I bought them for the local "smart car fans". I was up at the VIP event that saturday and it seemed i knew more about the car then everyone else combined! It seems "reading the book" was why.
I was also at Oak park mall, that Monday. The smartcar staff demo person was a real flake. If someone would of told me they would have demo car available at the dealership, i might not of stood in line for hours at the mall.
The books are $22 each btw

Quick update: I called Aristocrat today & received a call back. She was very nice! Said I'd be getting an email from smartusa tomorrow (which we knew, right?) that would be more personalized to ME. Telling me who my dealer is, approx. where I am in line, etc. Their dealer cars will be there 15-16-17, next week. Week after next, showroom should be open & I can go for test drives if I want. She said I could call anytime. I'm guardedly optomistic. But extremely excited about the possibility of getting my new baby by (possibly??) Valentine's Day!! Yippee!!
