2006 Short Model Year? The 2006 Prius' didn't start arriving on the west coast until Thanksgiving week 2005. If the 2007 Prius start arriving in August, that means the 06's were only on sale for 9 months?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Starfall @ Aug 5 2006, 12:04 PM) [snapback]298231[/snapback]</div> I like the touring edition. I might order one now instead even though it means a loss of half of the credit if the transaction doesn't complete by september.
