Wow Pat, you are the first person I heard is getting their car in mid 2008. If you reserved in May, then my daughter's November reservation means she might not get the car until early 2009.

Oh damn. I still havent got my config email yet from smart. Been unpatiently waiting. Reserverd in May as well. Live here in Los Angeles area as well. This bums me out now knowing even if I get my config email I will have to wait until 2nd half of 2008 to get the actual delivery. F^%$!

I placed the order for my Passion fully loaded with comfort package and premium sound and it will ad close to $1200 on the tab but my other cars are Mercedes Benz SL's and Diesels and I like loaded. I ordered it Silver on Silver an additional $400!! I did see the silver/silver at the Smart House in Venice beach and it was all class...!!Reservation date 5/16/2007 9:42 AMStill sucks to have to wait until Q3 to get it...I have a suspicion that it will happen sooner. Many of my friends reserved one and will not buy and I suspect the same for a large portion of the reservationsPat in LALA land Cali

You should chek out this thread.

I know it would be easier to order the higher optioned modelBut I like a hard top, < inside black for night driving >Have 2 MBZ 300CD, never open the sunroofs, except to lube themPlus, the solid roof provides an ideal ground plane for antennae< cell, wifi, cb, ers, ham, etc >

The hard top on the Pure is plastic, not a very good ground plane, I'm afraid.
