Do you have any information about how many cars your dealer is getting every two weeks? I just took delivery of my Prius two weeks ago, and I had been waiting since January 25. I started out wanting a Seaside #7, but at the rate of 6-8 cars every 2 weeks, I wasn't advancing on the list very fast, so I decided to increase my chances by allowing more colors and packages. I ended up getting a Tideland #9 and I am loving it. It's a long wait, but it's worth it.

They are pushing about 12-15 a month. Problem is I am specific. I don't like any other the color but Red. The only other packages are #9 (Too expensive) and #4 (Lacking Safety Features). So I will have to wait some more and more and more.

I am actually writing Toyota USA a letter when I get the car. This process is terrible. No one knows when there cars are coming and people in the Midwest have to pay $5000.00 markups because they have such a low allocation.

If toyota keeps this process, then I am very likely never going to buy another car from them until I know they have fixed it.
