I finally got my Cooper S test drive today and I posted my comments in the Cooper S forum under the test drive feedback sticky. I want one!
I heard basically the same things that you guys already detailed:
- 30 pre-speced Cooper S will be coming in June
- they'll work those down the list until they're all gone
- customer specs for Cooper S's will start in May (for July & later delivery?)
- they are getting cars that were originally destined for Otto's
- expect 12 or more Cooper S cars to come each month (starting in July?)
I was #70 on the Cooper S list, but Amos said that a good number of people have dropped off that list so that I should at least be in the 60's at this point. He felt that a late summer/early fall delivery was very likely.
I've been pretty happy with Don Rosen's so far, they are obviously swamped, though. I expect a voicemail to prompt a call back within 24 hours and that isn't happening at this point. It's not a big deal, 'cause I'll call back if I don't get a response

.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Amos said he had 3 pre-speced Coopers that aren't spoken for yet. Hard to believe, but true.
