    I think Doug will be busy until the very last PC member gets their new Prius!

    Doug is doing everything, except chartering a boat himself, to get your Prius to you as soon as possible. A special part of being on the Prius Team means that I too know pricing and when it will be announced but like Doug, I will let you all guess for now. As you know, production begins next week, so we're getting closer to launch and your Prius will be here shortly!

    Hi Erica,

    You and the Team are doing a terrific job! Do you have a web cam and feed for buyers to view progress of their car being assembled?;) I'm sure people like Fred would really appreciate that:)

    Thanks for all your contribution / feedback on this forum:)

    My wife and I were one of the first in the US to receive a MINI Cooper S. I was so exited I tracked it coming to the port in NY. I found a web cam on top of the empire state building and watched the ship pull into port and unload. :cheer2: Call me crazy...or what.

    no it wouldnt.

    new info if important enough only takes a few minutes to be posted. a few hours to spread to a significant number of people. trust me... if the pricing was announced at 5 pm... it will make the 6 o'clock news with plenty of time to spare

    Newspapers haven't been a timely way of getting information since radio/broadcast news was invented. The arrival of the internet allowed even more real-time info, and more of it. I wouldn't expect Toyota to make pricing release decisions around paper media. Otherwise, they would have to announce a month early so the auto magazines could have the same data around Earth Day - and that just wouldn't make sense!

    Newspapers? Are any of your local papers profitable? I mean the ones that haven't already shut down.

    Well, everything you see in those photos can be sold, but internal to Toyota, we call those vehicles "quality check vehicles"... they go through a special process to make sure everything is up to snuff.

    As for the OFFICIAL PRODUCTION START... well, we're just a few hours away. It begins Apr 21 Japan time. Hooray!

    That probably explains why they're all white ;-) I'd take the 15"/Solar/LED combo shown though ;-)

    That's the awesome timing. The official production to start a day before the Earth day.

    I replaced it with another picture link.
