Brabus Goodies
I have ordered a Passion Cabrio Silver/Silver in Toronto.
I would be interested in getting some Brabus items (body kit, rims). Please let me know what you come up with.
BTW was power steering and heated seats optional on the Passion? I was not given this choice when I choose my options. I was only told you can get heated seats if you choose the black leather upgrade.
Mehb

Yes, power steering is an option. I guess your dealer might think PS is something that you must order. And yes, heated seats only comes with leather.

My dealer put my July 17th order (see above) in the Mercedes-Benz ordering computer last week (Sept 8th) and I did get heated seats with twister blue cloth upholstery. So it's not only available with leather, as you suggested. I deleted the lockable storage option shown in my earlier posting, because it comes standard with the "pulse" trim level that I'm getting. Plus I added softouch because they're practically giving it away at $350 CDN (way cheaper than it is in Europe).
Why would you have wanted PAS anyway? The steering is one-finger light without it. Maybe if you're putting 235/30-18s on the front end you might need PAS.

If I were to get a smart, I think I'd get a Pulse model just because the paddle shifters come standard - I can lump AC on afterwards. 
You'd think that the paddles would be overkill in a car like that, but to me I think it makes a lot more sense for someone putting around urban areas (i.e. the primary market for smart cars). You don't have to keep reaching down to tap the gear lever.
Plus, you can always pretend that you're an F1 driver.

power steering
Correction: Now power steering has been confirmed as an option at nearly $800. It's not worth it at all, unless the driver is disabled and needs assistance for that reason, IMO.

Victoria
Dude you should have been in Victoria last night (23 Sept). There were 400 people at the smart intro party, and there also were 14 smarts there in the showroom. The test drives and five deliveries to customers occurred today (Friday 24th).
By the end of next week, 21 new owners will be driving these babies around the capital city, after more deliveries come in early next week
Four more demos will be on the road too.
You are seriously getting power steering?!? It's not needed at all, and it's so fricken' expensive to boot!

I must be a lucky dude. Last week, our friendly Smart Saleslady in MB Broadway calls me that a Bar Grey/Tridion Silver "Passion" coupe is available.
Signed for it last Friday and will be taking delivery this coming Monday afternoon.
Time for me to contemplate on what mods to do.
