I actually don't think they're going to introduce the car bit by bit, and make us wait several months just for kicks. I think they are merely responding to an increasing demand of information by, well, us.
I've heard from pretty much every source (online, dealers, FIAT) that the cars will begin to be ready as early as next week. Yes, we have been waiting for a while. Yes there are MANY questions still unanswered. We can see this as yet another way FIAT is trying to stall, until they can tell us something more specific. Or we can take these emails as a sign that they want us to be engaged while they get the cars to us.
AS I TYPE THIS, dealers from all around the country are getting trained in LA. The cars are being assembled in Tolouca. Reviews are coming out, and hype is being built. People are starting to test drive the cars in a few markets. In other words, the brand is starting to launch. This is no easy feat.
I, like many others, want my car ASAP. I actually need it before my current car explodes, or breaks down (again). I am a bit frustrated, and even considered dropping my reservation for a MINI. However, I trust that FIAT is doing everything to make sure that there's nothing wrong with these cars, and that they are delivered to us as soon as possible.
So I'm going to look at this email in a positive light. These are great cars, and I'm confident that we'll have them before the April 30th deadline. I might be wrong, but I'm tired of being impatient.
