    What does the website list as your in transit date? I've asked my dealer a couple of times what boat my car was on, but haven't gotten a name yet and I hate to be a pest. All I know is that London Highway left Japan on 2/17 and I have an in transit date of 2/16, so it seems likely it's on there.

    It's 20 days from Japan to the Panama Canal.
    It was 4 days from the Panama Canal to Jacksonville for PYXIS LEADER,
    then 3 days, 30 min from the time it arrived at JAX until it arrived at Newark.

    I'm not following the web site, I'm following the IBM mainframe session. My dealer has sent me a snapshot of the Vessel number and arrival date to port.

    Vessel # 609 arrival date: 3/16

    I understand where you're getting your information. I'm asking you to log into the order site and see what is listed there, as that might help me or others who haven't managed to wrangle a specific ship from their dealers. All I have so far are date estimates and my guesses.

    Could someone with their car confirmed to be on the London Highway please let me know what the order page lists for your in transit date?

    Stacey,

    If you go back 20 days from the ETA in BALBOA (2012-03-08) for LONDON HIGHWAY, that put's it's departure on the 16th or 17th. That tells me that since your intransit date is 2/16, that's got to be your ship since it's a 20 day trip from Japan to the Canal.

    Jbrad4, that's pretty much what I'm basing my assumption on. The date estimates I got from the dealer were a little off, but I guess that's why it was an estimate. I just wish I had something a little more certain, you know? I'll keep stalking London Highway.

    Sorry Stacey, but I didn't pre-order the Plug-in through the web site and don't have access to the web site. I called many dealers in the Northeast to search for a cancellation and got lucky and found one exactly the color and package that I wanted.

    Ahh, that makes sense. I didn't know that. Glad you were fortunate to find a cancellation.
