herbie Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 That's wonderfull Mike,Is the 1,000,000th smart close at hand? I wonder who the lucky person is going to be? :-) ;-) Quote
MikeT Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 The total of all fortwos is around 900,000 right now, so the 1 millionth should roll off the line maybe by September or October. Quote
MikeT Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 Latest 451 shipment: it's a trickle. Even the Mercedes B-Class is coming into Canada at a rate five or six times that of smart! For example: on this shipment, arriving March 11th, there are well over 160 B Classes and only 36 smarts. 116896117280117308117322117326117338117342117527117681117787117800118185118259118293118317118374118694118717118878118891121543121565121595121647121653121820121869121892121948122031122075122144122172122426122444122504 Quote

MikeT Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 Another 119 cars, arriving March 27th. Note the absurdly out of sequence serial number of the first car listed in this shipment!

MikeT Posted March 21, 2008 Author Posted March 21, 2008 85 more smarts on the Maersk Wave, arriving April Fools Day.....that's the good news, the bad news is that the same ship has 140 Mercedes-B-Classes on it, from which you might be tempted to conclude that the B-Class is handily outselling the new smart in Canada.However, looking back to the point in time when large-scale 451 shipments began, the 451 is slightly ahead of the B-Class, but barely. Actually, that was the overall pattern for the 450 in Canada too, just a slightly faster rate of 450 imports than the B Class. So I guess it's not all that dire after all, unless this "outnumbering" phenomenon continues for a while, in the next several shpments.117737118900119241119380119638119812119836119894122432122845123030123096123148123234123450124719125509126086126419126687126693126755126961127647127663127669127897128207128297128411128689128699128874128891129094129100129269129284129364129689129866129975130108130136130411130583130648130682130716130767130771130796130804130892130909130914130926130999131121131155131353131364131428131447131478131544131650131660131701131710131721131793131828131933131961132075132107132227132261132269132441132445132463132523132654 Quote
MikeT Posted March 21, 2008 Author Posted March 21, 2008 Trivia: smart is currently sending 1.62% of its 451 production to Canada. Quote
Awesys Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I've only seen 2 new ones on the road here in Edmonton.I almost want to buy one since it's the last ecoAUTO rebate year, but I've been looking at some Kei cars too... Quote

MikeT Posted April 4, 2008 Author Posted April 4, 2008 33 more, arriving on the 15th of April. Because they seem to be selling close to 80 per week, it seems that Canada may have a severe smart shortage soon, unless production can be ramped up:132934133168133539133554133658133966134564134919135080135284135540135553135578135587135634135647135674135691135815135834135843135849135872135975136027136052136091136132136189136207136635136655136949 Quote
Awesys Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 80 a week? Cool. Apparently none in Edmonton. :POn the contrary, my dad spotted 101670 here - it is white and has A/C. I'll get you some more details. Quote

curmudgeon Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 145652,...that's ours!I've been tracking the ship on its passage - it's on the Fidelio - which is currently at N 41 00', by W 051 54'. Its due in Halifax around 1:00 am on the 6th.Does anyone have any idea what the timing is like once it gets to Canada? Quote
MikeT Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 West coast should take 3 weeks, less the further east you are! Quote
Nextourer Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 wow, mine's been at the Halifax port since 1st April? Quote
MikeT Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) That's outrageous - mine took under 4 weeks to get to me after landing at Halifax at the end of 2004, and that car had the fender warts and wiring modifications done at Halifax too! Edited May 5, 2008 by Mike T Quote
Nextourer Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 oh, I ordered mine on the 12th and it came in on the 30th so it took 2½ weeks to arrive in Vancouver. Now it's being shipped out to me in Ontario. It's currently in Saskatchewan. Quote
Talgas Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I see mine up there too. It's 123144. Looks like it arrived on March 20th and I bought it April 12th, so it's journey across Canada to Edmonton went fairly quick. When I bought it it was in the showroom but hadn't even been PDI'd yet. But all that is history now... as it's currently sitting in my garage. Craig Quote
