The Prius C's are at port and have been allocated to all dealerships as of 2-11..

would be nice if they posted trims/pricing at Toyota.com

 

Low Productivity Day will be Wednesday February 8th 2012.

(That's the press reveal date.)

 

Prii start to arrive now let the game begin. What you got Gm, Ford, Honda?

 

Don't worry the other car companies have a sharp
eye on Toyota's hybrids.

Within the next 2-3 years you will probably see
a Ford Focus hybrid, 50 mpg, the 2013 Ford Fusion gets
45 mpg, so the smaller Focus should get 50 or maybe more
mpg's.

Kia and Hyundai will probably have their Elantra series type model
also hybrid with 50 mpg or more.

What we need is more competition in the hybrid market.

When a car company comes out with a 50+ mpg car, that is under $18,000 that will lower the price for all hybrid vehicles.

Just my opinion.

I'm curious what "low productivity day" means in terms of the reveal date???

 

I think it means low productivity at work for Prius enthusiasts as they'll be busy poring over the details.

 

Problem with Ford hybrids, great car but they price too high...

I do hope Toyota does create some competition... Need someone to push them a little... So far no one is...

 

I spoke with two Philadelphia area dealers on Friday concerning Prius c availability. Dealer A said this model was due for a regional roll out and would not be available here before 2013. Dealer B said they would have stock in 3-5 weeks. Is there truth in any of this?

 

Dealer is either just ignorant (maybe confusing the PiP with the c) or lying to try and get you to buy a Prius liftback.

 

But it's not even on the website yet, strange.

 

There was a media demo (including drives) at their headquarters in La Jolla, and I presume the price and package details were given, but there's a media blackout until Wednesday (February 8th).

My guess is that the short gap is because last year's issues put production behind schedule and they've tried to shorten the lead as much as possible.
