I'm pretty sure (although still not 100% ) that I've figured this out now...

The way I see it, the only cars being delivered in January are the 3 identical launch cars and the 2 additional cars that every dealer is getting.

Most, if not all, dealers will have sold their 2 additional cars to customers that ordered before the end of November.

Outside of these 5 per dealer the earliest build dates are Week 3 for delivery in February.

The launch cars are the same three as everyone else is getting.

The 2 additional cars are a 1.4 Sport and a 1.2 Pop that are both sold I'm afraid.

Never mind then, I'll have to stick with my order with Simonstone, never know I may start getting some reliable information from them, won't hold my breath though.

I was warned about them, should have listened.

Well, being one of the first 500 people in the world to reserve their Fiat 500 on the Fiat 500 website, then placing an order with my Fiat dealer in November (they said I must do it then to be sure to get it in January) means absolutely nothing!!

Mine has gone into production Week 1 of 2008, and won't be here for approx 4 - 6 weeks.
I think most people may have the same experience

Might as well wait until March and get it on an 08 plate!

Mid Feb or 1st of March, I know I'd sooner get that 08 plate, it might be hard, but it might be worth it come resale or trade in time.
