THE 2006 IS HERE!!!!!

thecan · 11-19-2005, 02:17 PM

I was told there were 2 black and 1 silver 2006's that just came in today. They arent available for pickup yet by the customers who ordered them. ?? Maybe the dealer was instructed to wait for a big announcement that should be coming very soon ?? Dont know if this is a common thing.

I am heading down there with my digi cam... I was also told that a BIG shipment of 2006's are going to come into LOS ANGELES on Nov 25th, mostly black and silvers. The colors, starting with blue is going to be showing up around the 5th of December. Exciting.... will keep everyone posted.

That's good news!

Please post a picture of the 2006 Prius in the new Classic Silver paint. I read somewhere there will be two gray interiors available, one dark, one light. If you can get a picture of a Prius with leather interior, that would be great too! BTW the navigation system is reportedly improved for 2006 with a higher resolution screen, if you find one, it would be great to see a picture of it.

Thanks!

If there is a package 8 available with leather I will snap a photo, regardless of the package I will snap a photo of the inside! And I also want to compare the differences with the new classic cilver met compared to the old silver... And I think the magnetic gray, darker one, is not going to be available after all for the 2006 prius... maybe the 2007??

I meant to say two gray "interiors" available, one dark, one light, in addition to the tan. I'm curious if that's true. I have modified my original post above to include the phrase "two gray interiors".

I'd be most interested in your impression of the "chromed" center bar in the grille.

Where are you?

(I promise the continent won't tip.)

I am heading down there with my digi cam... I was also told that a BIG shipment of 2006's are going to come into LOS ANGELES and can be viewed on the lot on Nov 25th, mostly black and silvers.

Yeah?? I'm kinda skeptical too..

Im on my way to find out.

I saw Los Angeles in his text, but wasn't sure that also meant HE was in LA, too. A poster pointed out the Japanese shipper's first supposed route, which included stopping at Portland first, then down to LA.

If it's LA, gots to be Longo or Carson. (Unless they're "celebrity models", which HAS been done before. Wonder what those actors pay extra to get their hands on the first few?)

I had posted yesterday about getting a call from my dealer-Hamer Toyota. Filled out the final paperwork today and got the status on delivery:

In Los Angeles port on Nov. 26th (think it is the same shipment as mentioned above). Delivery to my dealer within that next week.

So close, yet so far...

They probably pay half of what we pay and get all the the luxury treatment that we can only dream off.
