    not sure. there is a 2018 thread, but i don't know if the date is on there.
    also, we don't know if the $3,500. factory rebate will still be around, the heave dealer discounts, or the $4,500. federal tax credit.

    There are rumors the 2018 will just be a carryover of the 2017. Toyota has not officially stated when it will be released in the US.
    Some people have been concerned that the federal tax incentive will not be available in 2018 so they are buying a Prime now.

    Since Florida is a CARB state you probably want to buy from another CARB state to get the extended hybrid warranty.

    Florida is not a CARB state. Which is good (less hassle) and bad (shorter hybrid warranty).

    Yeah, there is at least one site listing FL as a CARB state. I remember finding that on a search a few weeks ago. There may be more sites saying that, too, since it tends to spread. :rolleyes:
