That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Today the first set of 2010 Prius units hopped a boat out of Japan and are headed out to the rest of the world. According to Toyota, the first units are the ones shown in these photos and are mostly "quality units". But "we're hoping some of the very first production units will make it on if they're headed to the destination of that boat's port of entry. I won't know more until we get the VINs to cross check, and it's very few Prius given that production started on the 20th and this boat departed on the 24th (think travel time to port, customs etc etc)."
So production started on the 20th and the first set of production units MAY have made it onto the first boat that left today. The countdown begins until they hit showroom floors. If they even make it that far before customers take delivery.
