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)

Northern CA TCHs by balithai

I am not getting a great vibe about my local dealer and was hoping to get some advice. I've have been told my my local dealer (rural far N. CA) that Mag Grey with Bisque leather interior is not available in CA, which I've since learned is not the case. Also, he wants a $2K non-refundable down to get on the waiting list - which also seems out of the ordinary.
 
My brother lives in the Bay Area and I'd like to talk to some dealers there - anyone have a dealer that was good to work with that you can recommend I call? I'm partial to the mag grey w/bisque, but not wedded to it - its just the sum of our interactions that make me want to look elsewhere.
 
Thanks!

I wouldn't give anyone a non-refundable deposit on anything.

Car looks beautiful.
 
You may have posted this previously, but I'm curious which wheels you replaced the stock ones with. I'm considering a wheel upgrade myself (possibly to 18" rims), but don't want to add any unsprung weight to the car, if possible.
 
Anyone who has any advice on wheel upgrade considerations, please feel free to chime in. I've never done it before.

I am in the SF bay area and invited quotes via Edmunds from a number of dealers (using different zip codes). I have received many positive responses.
Still trying to locate the color I want, Nobody hasd asked for a non-refundable deposit yet.

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.
 

Interesting review. Thanks for posting.
 
I notice in the specs that they claim the car is 0.5 sec faster from 0-60 mph than from 5-60 mph. Seems counter-intuitive!

What area did you find this document in, the service manual? What part/heading did it fall under?
 
I want to take a look at it, but I am thinking I might have seen that somewhere else.
