Replying to: beantown (Jul 31, 2008 7:09 am) His post, I'm a guy not a girl. Anyway they do not have any at Boch and will not have any for 6 months. Their website has not been updated they claim because a car isn't listed as sold until the client picks it up. Ernie Boch has no Prius and will not have any until winter at least 6 months was their exact wording. Any Prius that comes in is already sold but not listed as sold on the website. It's bad practice not updating the website when you know the cars are sold. More dealer BS and some dealers are now refusing to do warranty work on cars they don't sell. One of the other forums had a topic on this. |

... for the readers and lurkers the reality is that most stores are sold out of Prius' for the next several months until the 09's begin to arrive in significant numbers. As tiff_c noted it may be well into Fall or Winter until the supply begins to catch up with the orders in hand. However this is NOT the situation in every single case. Some larger stores can have relatively quick turn around on orders placed even today. Areas with more hybrid demand are receiving a larger share of the limited supply. Stores investing and expanding are actually getting extra units. Prius' ARE available.

They have 10 new priuses IN STOCK and on their lot today. They also have 3 used on the lot today. I always love it when people in other regions speak as if they have knowledge of what other regions have access to from week to week, when obviously they are just guessing based off what they have. ============================= There are none available anywhere with any packages. Having someone drive 2 hours to find out there are none available to sell is pure BS IMO.... |

Replying to: tiff_c (Jul 29, 2008 6:45 am) It will definitely be a cross shopped with the new 2010 Prius. If it gets that kind of mpg, you would have around 800 mile driving range even on a small 12 gallon tank.

A seat height adjust is pretty mandatory for my wife. I had a link to the info about the new Honda Hybrid. I guess they will be showing it at the new auto show. I hope Edmunds buys one since they already tested the Prius. It's going to have a small 1.3L engine so it should compare well to the Prius but the Prius is getting a larger engine for 2010. |

A lot of speculation about the Prius but this is the latest I know that is reliable: 2009 arrives August 2008 and is the same as a 2008. 2010 Prius is out April 2009. This will be the first of improved versions and alternatives available in 2009. The 2010 April version is still being worked out and will be available here in the US between April and summer of 2009. This is confusing because the technology is evolving as we type. Nothing seems written in concrete but at the moment this is the best info I can get from people who should know. speedymac |
