    Date Ordered: May 8, 2006
    Dealer Ordered From (Incl. City/State):Earl Stewart Toyota, West/North Palm Beach, FL
    Timeframe given for delivery:Few weeks-couple of months depending on the size of their allocations.
    Color: Silver Pine Mica
    Option Package:#3
    Your # on Dealer's Waiting List: ??

    Prius arrived and we took delivery today!! Dealer said this is the hardest color to get because it's in high demand and is not produced as much as other colors. All in all, waited about 6 weeks, which felt like 6 months! I don't know how some of you wait for 6+ months for this car.

    We took pictures with the digital camera and I'll try to upload some when we download them from the camera.

    We worked with Shelly Porter, Internet Manager. She was absolutely fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. She was helpful, patient, and very responsive. Dealership does not charge dealer fees and sells at or below MSRP. The only semi-unpleasant part of the experience was the business person who kept pushing the extended warranty and other options after we told her we did not want them, and even went so far as to be a bit insulting to me.

    Now we just need a name for the car...

    Congrats to you. I wanted Pine Mica but Classic Siver was my second choice, it came in after only a two week wait and I could wait no longer. So go ahead and post those pics, make me fell bad....

    I just got mine yesterday. We got the same car and the dealer told me the same thing about the color. I waited about 5 weeks for mine. I just love everything about it. Enjoy yours.

    I hope my luck is as good as yours. I'm still waiting, just got through my fifth week for a silver pine mica. Guy told me 4-6 weeks. They actually offered me a magnetic grey last week but I'm holding out for the color I want. My wife doesn't like the magnetic grey anyway, so it wasn't that tempting. Now if they come to me with a blue or silver...then it may be a bit tougher. Can't wait though. Congratulations!

    If you look at your wheels, you will find that there is a plastic ring that snaps onto your rims. Some people leve them on and some think that it takes away from the aluminum rims. Look close and just reach under and pull them off. See how you like it, if not then pop them back on again.

    You can also do a search on plastic rings and you will find lots of posts about this and pics.

    IMO! You have the prettiest color that Prius comes in. :) :) :)
