This sheds a little light on production volume. Between October 13th and the 30th (13 days) they produced at least 108 Spyders. I wonder if they had all been sold by now or if the dealers are mostly inspecting units on showroom floors.

Good thing Bombardier is still supported by Canadian taxpayers to continue building these recreational vehicles. A private company would have some serious explaining to do to shareholders.
For the price I would rather buy a sports convertible.
It looks like these will be the demo models that their dealers have. BRP is saying late Dec or early Jan (more likely) on consumer deliveries.
I have a rt audio and convenience on order date 12-03-09, and Im praying that the problem is solved before I receive the vehicle.
