    This is so interesting. Can the '09 Prius be far behind? What's so new that it's being introduced so early?

    With the 1/21 intro date, I'd expect to see the reveal at the Detroit show.

    I canceled my '08 order scheduled for January delivery and changed it to an '09.

    That's very odd - I don't remember the Camry's ever being announced/available so early.

    wow.. I was expecting Feb 2009. Well it's the end of Jan, close enough :p.

    hmm... I like the mix of old PC emoticons and the new emoticons that I see elsewhere.

    I jut got one, build date 02/08.

    I am a bit confused though, what is the difference between an 08 and 09?

    This reminds me of buying a 1999 F350 that was built in June of 1998. My F350 is one of those, maybe I have a knack for buying odd vehicles, every Toyota I had was silver, not by choice, my truck and Camry are both a year early, I just got rid of an '01 Crown Victoria LX Sport, an oddity since they weren't officially sold until 2002.

    Yep, the 2009 Camry was even up on the Toyota web site a few months ago.

    To get almost the exact date, you can search on my user name - since I believe that I posted news on the the 2009 on almost the same day Toyota updated their web site with the 2009.

    man, danny better juice up some extra bandwidth for the day the 09 prius is announced. This place is going to go through the roof.

    By December 2009 you should be able to get the 2011 models at this rate. What a joke!
