    I'm wondering if there is any French (I mean, living in France) future
    owner reading this group, or am I alone in the world (Bugs Bunny
    calling Earth ...) ?

    Not French, US, but can you bug the Boutique about answering my email? ;-)

    I've emailed them asking the price for 2-5 Prius models shipped to the US. They've had a WHOLE DAY to answer, and nothing ;-)

    I doubt you'll have any answer. Unfortunately, there is no way to buy the scale model by mail or by phone ... The price is 18 euros. Maybe you can try to reach the model maker (take a look at my pictures) ?

    I Googled last night for web contact info for the maker, no luck. I refuse to snailmail Germany ;-)

    Minichamps own site doesn't even list the Prius anywhere!

    You'd think hte Boutique would want to sell 5-10 of them at one shot, but nooooo.

    I emailed them about ordering 200 but no response, either. That was a couple of weeks ago.

    Hi Marvin,

    I answer to you in english, to be fair with other people reading this !

    What feeling did you have from your Toyota dealer ?

    Was it like : "you are my customer n° 784 for a Prius, and I'm not shure to have enough Prius for all those people so, having a rebate, I suppose you are joking !"
    or was it like : "you want to buy a WHAT ? did you have a look at our marvelous Avensis D4-D ? That's a real car !"

    Another question : did they give you a precise delivering delay immediatly, or was it in a range of one or two months ? It seems that you have now a date. Is this date for sure ?

    Thanks,
    Richard.

    P.S. : by the way, do you know :
