Ordered my dark green 01 at the end of May. Received a call asking if I would take another color because they didn't have a green one. When I questioned whether my order hadn't been filled. The dealer said they'd check on it & later called to say my green 01 was in Japan and would arrive at the end of October and that it would be an 01 and not an 02. I would like to believe my dealer but it seems strange that 01's would still be arriving at the end of October when people on the West Coast are getting 02's.

That DOES seem strange. Seems as though I sold at least 3 in MAy and they all arrived in late July or thereabouts. I forget when the 01 production was terminated. Im sure someone here has that... 02 site went live June 5 if I recall. Thing is is that a lot of the last 01 orders were likely filled with cancelled order cars, however- Bottom line is IF your dealer "finalized" the order prior to the 02 site going up then an 01 you shall have. Just seems awful late in the game to me that's all and I'm on the east coast. We're last in line for Prius and other Japan built units

Just received my '01 in Baltimore. Order confirmed by Toyota e-mail on 5/31. Have you received any e-mails or gifts from Toyota as clues that you have an '01 coming? I received an '01 manual about 5 weeks before, and a clock/calendar about 3 weeks before my delivery on 9/14.<br><br>Hope your wait ends soon.<br><br>Ian<br>MD N3CVA, silver '01

Hey Toyobri,<br><br>Your close, MY02 site went "live" on 6/1/2001 though it had a few problems and if I remember correctly from Priusman's posts, production of MY01 was supposed to end around the first week of August.<br><br>I ordered and dealer confirmed my car on 6/01 and have been patiently waiting since. Though Dianne at Carson Toyota might have a different description of "patiently waiting" than I do! :o)<br><br>Rod

This is very interesting, since they stopped building and shipping the 01's last month. You are either the exception to the major rule or they are not being truthful with you at that store. Where are you geographically?
