Why Toyota Late on 2012 Prius Liftback Info

I have been trying to buy, on order, a 2012 Prius Liftback/Hatchback for two months. No info on Toyota website and no way to configure the car given the lack of info at Toyota.com and at the dealers. 2012 is different with heads-up display and daylight running lights so their was a need to know ..... and of course the price increases.

I finally ordered one after going to every dealer in San Diego county. Costco had the most up to date info. How does a tsunami effect Toyota's ability to put out timely info? 2012's now in showroom, with still no info on website. They did a much better job with the 2012 Prius V.
