    Maybe it's just in this area of So Cal, but when I went to the "configurator" to look at an Advanced Pkg PiP, when I got to that option I found that the package is only available in Black, Grey or White.

    That's pretty crazy. If it's not a local issue I wonder if it could be an inventory issue.

    Also got an e-mail today about the new Mirai - at a starting price of $57K and exactly ONE hydrogen station within 120 miles, I think I'll pass.

    Probably inventory. If you really wanted an Advanced in Clearwater or Sea Glass Pearl, you could order one.

    I thought Toyota was ceasing production of the 2015 PIP in June?

    Since the "Toyota Configurator" is generic and not local, a model 'end of life' explanation seems reasonable.

    So have you gone to the dealer yet and priced them out?

    May I ask what prices have you been able to negotiate down to?

    Did you find the dealer/salesman have easily come down in price or has been a constant back and forth trying type negotiating?

    Thanks in advance.
