Anyone have any idea or information about when the 2006 Prius will start to be available for delivery to dealers?
Probably in Sept. or Oct...that's when they start attaching the new model year to the Prius. It will be unchanged from the '05 so I wouldn't factor that into your decision.
I believe September 15 is the magic date when production of the 2006 car begins. Nothing will change for 2006, except probably another msrp increase.
Really? No fair, I believe that's when my '04 was produced that I bought in August. Need to examine that sticker in the door jamb again.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(efusco\";p=\"80359)</div> How do you know it will be unchanged? Just your opinion? There is a thread: http://priuschat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8478 that seems to indicate that there might be an updated version in 2006.
ok. Depends on your definition of 'no change'. For any car, it's rarely a carry-over model. There will be minor changes (e.g. the front suspension of the 01/02/03 Civic are all different) but I think Evan's looking at a greater picture in terms of equipment, specifications and colour options
I'd agree -- from the other thread, I'd call this a "minor change" -- i.e., not a complete remodel, or a significant change to the way the car runs. Which would be in keeping with the "wait until 2007 or later" for a major change.
