    What?! Some lucky Minnesotan is going to buy one off a lot before those of us who have been in line for months.

    Nah, after 3 months in line, guess I'll keep my place. Plus, I want to make sure John gets his before I do; counting on him to teach me some tricks. :)

    Great price of $2350 off MSRP. I hope they treated you equally well on your trade in.

    A local dealer has $1K of mine, in the northern Chicago area. Initially, I got the "these cars don't really exist" treatment as I walked in the door, and on the phone this morning. They (sort of) participated with the Costco price of $825 off invoice, whatever invoice is defined as, but until I get a final bill of sale, and a car, I just won't know. The salesman also said that every car goes out with their mandatory "vin etch $399" and "perma treatment $289." I was ready to walk out before he removed that crap off the sales order (not a contract). Worried that might show up again on the final bill, or something else - we'll see. I feel not too comfortable with the dealer at this point. Was told 4 months wait. I want to be more excited.

    Native madisonian and got mine at smart Toyota. Mine was a ny import and based on above MSRP pricing i suspect these are too. The law of supply vs demand wins again. That said ignoring price smart was pleasant to deal with

    I had to undo the sales order due to an unrelated temporary personal financial issue. Bummer. When ready again, and hopefully soon, will re-order the car.

    A dealership in Columbus, Nebraska has a Prime on site. Ernst Toyota, ask for Kevin "Ace" Wagner. (402) 564-2736
    (3-24-17)

    Also, 3 Primes at Baxter Toyota in Lincoln, Nebraska. Ask for Cullen West (402) 476-4000.

    Seems like the Midwest is being smiled on finally. I am on mile 250 with my Prime and just got thru my 1st gallon of gas. Love this car.

    The dealer delivery window for mine got shifted... to sooner... which means it potentially could be today!

    I'd pick it tomorrow then, just in time for a weekend trip. Woohoo!

    Fantastic! Time to start looking for you on the road. Is yours red or blue? I know the couple ordered before me were all either red or blue.

    I find that color very "attractive".

    Unlike the Magnetic Gray that I find "repulsive".

    (I guess it all depends on which end of the magnet...)

    I'm getting boring Titanium. I'm hoping it will less likely be keyed in the parking lot than a flashy red or blue one.
