    Any Canadians are waiting for their PIP, share your feelings. I am checking the net everyday and Toyota Canada keeps it secret.

    I'm waiting eagerly for its release, only to learn of its pricing and see how it performs under cold climates. I won't be buying one because my 2010 is too new, no 17" wheels on the PIP, and next gen PIP will likely have increased range, lower price, new gadgets, etc

    Yep but like MMB, mostly for pricing. I have a 2010 Tech Pack so I'm not willing to let that go so soon (or that easily, especially after they decontented the 2012 model, even if it did result in a lower price tag).

    I'll wait for the wireless (induction) charging option ;). Nissan is said to bring it for the 2014 Leaf so we'll see if that pans out and whether it's cost effective for Toyota to follow suit.

    "PHV can cover 3,500 km without refueling" Wow that's some battery pack;)

    Toyota sent the Pyxis directly to New Westminster this time instead of Portland first. Not sure if that means anything.

    When are supposed to start coming? No direct links on the Toyota.ca site for the PHV.

    Possibly our first shipment of cars but the PoE is Richmond, B.C. (there's a large dock where Japanese manufacturers store their cars that were off loaded from the ships).

    Our Gen 3 cars started arriving in warehouses about a month or two before Toyota Canada even announced pricing or packages.
