    I'm looking to get a new Prius in the Toronto area. Really, pretty much any Prius will do, it just has to meet these two simple criteria:
    - no premium package
    - a light color (no Black or Magnetic Grey Metallic)

    Now, the local dealership (Markville Toyota) told me that I'd have to place an order for one, and then wait 3 months until they get one in. That really isn't good enough. Do we have any salesmen here that have access to Toyota's in-stock listing, and can tell me at which dealership I can pick up a Prius? Anything within driving range of Toronto (say, 300-500 km?) is fine.

    Thanks guys!

    I was looking everywhere myself for one. And had the magnetic grey B package held for me by markville toyota. financing issues prevented me from getting it :( . To be honest there really isn't much out there. i remember seeing a silver pine mica in the listing but that was a few weeks ago. Right now i'm fighting hard to get one imported from the states but the dealers there are all afraid of selling to a canadian. If i can't get it i'm just gonna save up some more money and buy an 08 when it comes out. I got financing now and my dealer here is working on getting one imported but i'm not going to cross my fingers it seems so far like it might not happen. So continue driving a paid off mercedes SUV till one comes in.

    Just to make sure I understand you correctly - you called up the 20-some Toyota dealerships in the Toronto area and none of them had a Prius? I was planning to call them up as well, but if someone else has already done it and found nothing, then I guess there's no good sense in me trying as well.
