Pre Orders -Tentative plans by VV

[AZEqualizer]

Derwin-
Thanks for your note.

We don't anticipate having an actual Pre-Order list (with deposits) until we get closer to the actual vehicle launch. Frankly, we don't want to be holding people's money this far out. While it could certainly change, we are looking at around 3rd or 4th quarter of next year for a real _*Pre-Order*_ list. Our plan is to continue with the _*Pre-Registration*_ list in the meantime.

Hope that helps. . . Thanks.

Randi we just received that message today Dec 3rd and it is a tentative projected schedule.I spoke with Rick also, I have some info that I received on dec, 8.

To give you a brief update, while many of the specifics are still in the development stages, our current plan is to launch initially in California in 2009. We’ll then begin rolling out to other major US markets in 2010. (Our number one priority is to ensure we deliver a world-class vehicle and customer service organization.) We are very close to locking down the final vehicle design and engineering & performance specs, which should be finalized by the end of the year. We are targeting the retail price for the base Hybrid version to be around the $20,000 range.:o I'd pay more for it, IF they install the equipment that we request.=y: Really, I don't mind waiting, but I just wonder where they are planning to put dealerships/service centers?
