    Well, a few popped up today. They don't have arrival dates yet, but there are 74 listed so far across the country.

    II-27
    III-25
    IV-17, 5 w/ solar
    V-5, 0 w/ ATP

    I also checked, and there is no vessel name, so I can't confirm the earlier info about what ships were carrying what product. So nobody start swimming yet.

    And please don't ask what dealers are getting which cars... It still shows I am not listed as getting any when I KNOW that isn't true.

    Wow! No V's w/ ATP. And with low counts with the gold color ones being pre-ordered, ours may be one of a kind!

    Ah - Oh!!

    So you are getting one!? I wasn't aware she'd made up her mind.

    You are double-blessed.

    Damn, no Advanced Tech's... Guess the wait continues :(

    I thought there would be seperate ship(s) for the west coast and then the east coast but if they show that these vehicles are for ALL across the US then guess us advanced tech priority orders will be waiting a little longer than some...

    Sorry to report that the Prius Priority cars are a single-offer item. If someone in that program "passes" on a purchase, the car is made available for allocation through Toyota USA.

    I'm at Pauly in Crystal Lake. Feel free to PM me.

    And most of the ones I pulled up are scheduled for Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, etc. It shows the furthest one from me is only 790 miles away. My guess is that this is just the first batch to be inputted. MANY more will be added within the next few days.

    So I just thought I would post up a teaser for you guys and gals..

    Phew, very cool, thanks for the news then. If and when you do see some Advanced Tech's pop up on the dealer daily (perhaps a nice white one heading for say the NY area) mind letting me, err I mean us know? ;)

    Really though, this is great news and again thanks for sharing you are finally seeing them!

    This isn't the entire boatload is it? How many cars can you get on a ship?

    You can probably put 500 cars on a ship. This is simply someone hitting the enter key after a few have been uploaded (or downloaded)...

    Believe me, if I had that kind of control, I would accidently ship every one of them to my dealership. ;)

    So this is funny...

    My mom was at a Toyota Dealership (she's also looking at a Prius), and they were saying "oh, we're only getting ONE 2010 in this month....and the waiting list is SOOOO long I don't think you would get one from us til OCTOBER!"

    Anybody else calling bull?

    I have a feeling there will be a fairly good supply of 2010's available this summer. :rockon:
