New Prius confirmed in allocation... but which year?

Hi Everyone,
Just found this great site after googling for info on the 08 Prius! I'd actually ordered a 07 Touring Package 3 in Mag Grey back at the end of May. Due to various half truths, non communications, and outright lies I've yet to receive my car. I understand the touring is very elusive, with the mag grey making it even more difficult to locate. Anyways, the dealer called me today to tell me that the car was being allocated to them. They said it needs to be built and then shipped to them. I saw the release on Monday about the 08's arriving at the dealers in August, but they had no information about this so they think that an 07 is what is being built. My question is, does anyone have any idea if the 08's are currently being assembled? If so, would they still be making 07's on the same line, or am I probably going to get an 08? I really hate to pay new car price on last years model!
