Would the 11th digit be a "U" also, if it was a Kentucky built car?

I will answer part of my question.
 
I just splurged for a $10 daily subscription. The documents are PDF's, but for something like the owner's manual, you have to open each section individually, rather than just grabbing one big PDF file.
 
I want to grab the service manual, but it there are a TON of sections, so I don't think I can get away with it while I am at work!
 
I will try it from home. One thing to keep in mind - it doesn't work with Firefox (you have to use Internet Explorer - version 5.5 or later, I think), and it doesn't work with Macintosh computers unless you are one of the lucky few that can boot Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac.
 
Has anyone figured out how to download the entire service manual from the techinfo site mentioned earlier?
 
Thanks

New SHORT TAKES review by Car and Driver on TCH by willybill

Just came accross this SHORT TAKES review on the TCH by Car & Driver magazine dated June 2006. They claim the 0-60 speed is 7.7 seconds.

Another article stated that 3,000 TCH were delivered in May, 2006. I think that must mean delivered and ordered.

The tundrasolutions user manual comes in 26 parts (.pdf format). Chapter 1 has separate sub-sections, as does Chapter 7. I downloaded all other available documents and I got 107 different .pdf files. One very intesting one is named multi2.pdf, but inside, it is called BE-11. It has info on various settings for locking the doors, unlocking the doors, setting illumination levels, etc. These appear to be dealer-programmable options. I'm going to select a few and go back and have mine re-programmed. I don't like the doors auto-locking when the car goes into gear--I'd rather they lock at 20 km/hr. I also don't want them all to unlock when the car goes into Park.
 
I'm very curious about the illumination settings. Anybody work with any of these?

I believe that the figures are 46 units 'sold & delivered' in april along with about 3400 units 'sold & delivered' in May. It should run about 4000 units or so until Nov when it should move up to 6000+ monthly and eventually 8000-10000 monthly after KY gets into full swing.
 
Maybe after KY gets up to speed fully the part from Japan will be redirected elsewhere to say the Gen3 Prius or a hybrid Sienna ( see Inside Line today ).
 
One figure I saw was that the TCH would add about 10% to normal Camry sales. But what if it was such a huge hit that demand stayed at 100K units and accounted for 20% of Camry sales?

Just look at the black sticker in the driver's doorjamb. It will say where it was built and what day.

More later.
 
The car runs great, exceeds expectations. All the engineers at work want to geek out over this vehicle, gave 5 people rides and all were impressed.
 
Trunk is fine. Didn't realize it had the regular 12V battery back there too! First trip to work I averaged 35 MPG over 40 miles of mixed light traffic, 2 full throttle freeway merges, country roads, and 5 or 6 stoplights. That's the benchmark run that I do each day, twice. Hope to get it up to 40 MPG as I learn the hybrid tricks.
 
Taking it on a trip this weekend, averaging 34.2 MPG so far on this tank (140 miles into it, and the vehicle for that matter)
