    I get the feeling supply is beginning to catch up with demand, I think we will see some sales by Sept. It's about the end of "hurry while there are still some left".

    I know you are being facetious, but in 45 days or so Toyota has gone from <50% usual production, to 80% in July, to anticipated 100% by september. Unless you think demand will increase 100% through the summer, the gap is closing.

    You only have so many parts after the quake you can rely on.
    If you need to build as many of a certain car you can, you can stretch the parts out to make more units if you send base cars... vs cars with things you are short on like NAV systems, perhaps the different wiring harnesses, audio components.. we'll never know the details to the Nth degree but there's a reason we're getting many more cars like Camry LE as opposed to XLEs and SEs, and Sienna LE vans as opposed to the XLEs and Limiteds and SE's... same for Prii. Base models vs the higher end cars.
    If my logic is wrong, then it's wrong, but there's no other reason I can think of to have such an imbalance of II vs the III and IV. I expect the V's to be short - they always were.

    I reason similarly, I thought you were offering gossip :)

    A high trim car is a base car plus extras. If a base car cannot be built, neither can a high trim model, but the converse is not always true.

    understood, thanks. i was thinking the few they can make they would want to make as much profit as possible, unaware that getting the high end accessories would be any harder than the rest of the parts.

    YOur logic is good if they are focused on profit only.
    They are more focused on volume right now. Besides, the EPA limits the amount of cars with certain extras that would bring thr weights of the "average" car up. The fuel estimates would then become skewed. That's why you see 1/3 sunroofs in III and IV and NO sunroof in a V. EPA for USA figures into things too. :)

    that's amazing. a company more interested in volume than profits, (although, one should lead to the other) and the epa figuring into package manufacturing. very interesting, thanks dianne!
