The Aero 8 is in the same boat as the Aeromax in the US. I ordered an Aero 8 last March. I was told at the time my build date would be Feb 09 with delivery May 09. Because of the US certification problems I am now told the build dates are postponed to August 09 with delivery in November 09 at best for a 2010 model.
My dealer paid me back $35k of my $45k down payment keeping $10k to keep my slot open. It seems like a long time to wait for a car but what the hell. At least I'll get the specs and the color I want. I keep my fingers crossed for no more delays...
