    This afternoon I heard a feature news story on NPR (National Public Radio) about the 2010 Prius. They also quoted "7 month waiting period" for a new 2010 Prius. This is really strange because I've seen several 2010 Prius automobiles at Toyota dealers waiting for anybody that wants to buy one.

    This clearly demonstrates that you can't believe what you see in print, or hear on the news. The quality of news reporting here in the U.S. has clearly declined the past several years. The media rarely verifies the information they report.

    We have a few still in stock in II model. My fellow salesman ordered 2 weeks ago and has to wait till September. I think we are roughly 3-4 months out depending if u are willing to take something already ordered and not yet claimed. I chose one that was being produced this month 2 days before the national release and I will be waiting 4-6 weeks...

    The "7 month waiting period" in Japan is based on the Toyota's official announcement.
    Following is the copy of my post.
    =====================================================
    FYI,
    Japanese Prius is a kind of BTO type, and our orders are entered to a computer for the manufacturing planning.
    Toyota Japan publishes the delivery forecast announce page updated two times a week.
