Question for Dianne about "new" Lexus hybrid order

Dianne, I found this quote concerning the "new" ordering system for the Lexus hybrid. Any hope for wannabe owners that the 2005 Prius or the Highlander will be done similarly??? I sure hope so, because I know it would make your life/job MUCH easier!!

"It's imperative we provide accurate information to our dealers and
their customers regarding the anticipated arrival of these
vehicles," said Clements. "We're already planning ahead with the
development of a new retail ordering program, and we've started a
dedicated customer communication system," he added.

The new customer communication system will correspond directly with
wait-list customers on at-least a quarterly basis with updated
information about their RX 400h order. The retail ordering system
will provide Lexus dealers with the ability to assign a customer
name to a specific vehicle prior to its production and then track
that vehicle throughout the distribution process. This is a first
for Lexus and will provide timely updates on the progress of a
customer's order and their expected vehicle delivery date.
