Personally I couldn't care less what the wheels look like. I'm going to be inside driving it, not outside looking at it!
I stopped by Avondale Toyota this morning to see if they had any in. They hadn't ordered them yet (each dealer must order their own), however the guy responsible went online and placed the order right then and there and said they'd be in within 3 business days. He suggested I come back on Monday to get mine.
Got mine today (April 22)! Luther Toyota in the Twin Cities had a 2009 Prius at our workplace (Medtronic) with a bunch of brochures in the back. In celebration of Earth Day, our company asked the local car dealers to bring out hybrids to display for the employees. I'm guessing that Maplewood Toyota probably has them already, as well. Mine copy is going to stay in it's place of honor (right on the kitchen table!) until the car arrives!
Grabbed mine today from Avondale Toyota. They had them in the back and I had to ask for it. Some didn't think they had it yet, but I reminded them that I had been in the week prior and asked them to order. I have scanned it to a 200dpi color PDF, however the procure is more if a 9x11 format, which means that the std 8.5x11 scanner I used managed to clip the bottom of each page. Not sure on Toyota's feelings of sharing the 6.3MB file until they release their own PDF version (or people go to their dealers). One page in particular is of interest though for folks wanting to see color combos.
Thanks, Rick. Every pic I see makes me more excited! On a humorous note, is that "BUZZARD PEARL"? The L and the I seem to run together.
When the image is zoomed, it's clearly Blizzard Pearl I can see how image softening would cause that though.
The fabric looks really nice and is represented well in the brochure. Too bad the power lumbar support is only available with leather seats.
I went to the NY auto show last week and gave info for 2010 prius brochure and test drive. In yesterday's mail, I had a large envelope from Toyota. I opened it as fast as possible only to find a 2009 Prius brochure and a letter from my local dealer to come test drive the 2009. THOSE BASTARDS..... How could they toy with a man's emotions like that. Anyway, they must really be trying to move the 09's with a stunt like that.
Not in Europe it's not. We get the power lumbar support in every single edition with leather and fabric.
Finally got my brochure last Thursday. Been calling around for a couple of weeks once I found out they were being shipped. You would think L.A. area that it would be high on their list, but no one had any yet. happened to go into a local dealer and ran into a great guy that was one of the salesmen and asked if he knew anything about them. he told me it would be at 2 more weeks and the car would be here in about 4-5 weeks. Then he tells me, "you know what, I have one at home, give me your info and I'll bring it in with me tomorrow and you can come and pick it up or I'll mail it to you." How awesome was that? He brought it in as promised and figure if anything that I will at least give him a chance to earn my business. If they happen to work out a deal I'm happy with and have the car that I want I think I at least owe it to him for going out of his way. Looks great and I can't wait!!
