    Hi All,

    First post here.

    Date Ordered: 03/01/2008
    Dealer Ordered From (Incl. City/State):New Holland Toyota, New Holland PA
    Timeframe given for delivery: Unknown
    Color: Barcelona Red
    Option Package: Base with #4
    Your # on Dealer's Waiting List: N/A

    I just got the call on 3/25 that the car arrived at the dealer that was making the trade for me with New Holland. It seesm that the Red with the grey interior is a rare bird in the North East part of the country. They were going to get the car and I will take delivery Friday afternoon.

    My current car is a Caddy CTS (03) that is getting 24.4 MPG so I am in for a few big changes. A few people thought I was crazy, and I would never be happy with a Prius after the CTS.

    You will be very happy the first time you get double the mileage you are getting with the CTS. :D

    Well I got it. The dealer tells me I ordered mine just in time. They now have none on the lot and most must place factory orders.

    Here is a few pics. One of the puppy checking out Dads new wheels.

    Congrats on your new Prius! After about 2 days you'll wonder why you kept your other car as long as you did. I went from 15 mpg to 45 and am loving life. My Prius is 2 weeks old and is the same color combination, had no problem finding it here in RI fortunately. I've gotten lots of compliments on the color, though!
