    I just put in my order for a Prius C! I don't have any info on when I will take delivery yet, but I am excited to be able to sell my truck and start saving tons of money in gas! :)

    Welcome to PriusChat.

    I talk about the Prius c so much that my wife had to remind me last night that I shouldn't get my hopes up since she's the one who has to like it for us to get one!

    What model and how much?

    I got the Prius C Three with 15" alloy wheels and moonroof. I can't give any pricing information, as I have family that works for Toyota.

    Ahh, "family that works for Toyota" is the key here, no? The sales people at my local dealer still go borderline catatonic when I ask about Prius C. In their world there never was nor will there ever be a Prius C... :confused:

    I can tell you that dealers should be able to place an order. All the info is out there.

    Only way to go of course:

    1) Know somebody inside: (family member/friends/lover)
    2) you have a long relationship w/ that particular dealer (ie: 3-4th time buyer)

    Congrats! You'll love it. Traded my Tacoma crew-cab for our 2010 liftback. C and PIP are both terrific new variants.

    Thanks. I have a Tacoma now that I will be selling once the Prius comes in. The gas mileage was killing me, and I don't see it getting better with gas prices continuing to go up.

    Wow, is it really like that in marriages? I've never been in one, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't put up with being told what I could and couldn't buy.

    Do you HAVE to sell the truck?

    Seriously? Because I think owning a Prius...for the majority of driving and tasks...but having a truck for the occasional needed utility and/or camping, is a great scenario.

    I can't really afford to keep and maintain two vehicles...but if I could...Prius and Truck would probably be the combo.

    Heh. Yeah, I'm probably destined to be single forever. Too used to having my own way. There are worse fates!

    Moving to the city, so I don't need a truck. I can always borrow my dad's diesel truck. lol I never use my truck as a truck anyways. I used to have a jetski in which the truck was useful.
