I got mine October 29. 2003. It was tough, but I had to wait almost 10 days between ordering and taking delvery at San Francisco Toyota. I'm thinking of moving to Holland this summer and I cerainly will take take car with me. I love the kmh/mph switch on the dashboard.

Veel plezier met je nieuwe auto.

Dankjewel!

Right! Just read a news article that the delivery time of the Prius in the Netherlands went down from 12 to 6 months.

Of course I immediately phoned my dealer and he could confirm that my Prius will be delivered in September or October at the very latest (ordered in March).

Sounds much better than what they told me a couple of weeks ago when they warned me it could just as well be December.

HURRAY!

Okay, will keep you posted!

Update: they received the car a bit earlier still, last Monday. Now I'll be able to pick it up tomorrow or on Friday. Hurray!
