I'm also waiting for one. When I ordered it on 26 August, my dealer told me I should get it in about 11 weeks (mid-November). I got the same estimate today and he told I was scheduled to get their first convertible. The order (HPC831) was accepted but that was it.

Just a guess, mind you.

Most sources I've heard from on this forum (whom I don't personally know but appear rather trustworthy and knowledgeable) have been mentioning that verts may not get produced at all until after the new year. Just the messenger. You can tell by my avatar what I'm waiting on, so you know I hate the message myself. Let's hope I'm wrong.
