Just wondered if anyone in the UK had been able to get any sense out of a Toyota dealer about when we will be able to place orders for the 3rd Gen Prius? The UK Toyota site is lagging well behind the US / Canada / Europe and Australian sites for info. As it stands at the moment I'm providing info to my dealership rather than the other way round
Autocar is quoting June as the launch for the UK, so I think we still have 2 to 3 months to go. We dont have any big motorshows here now for Toyota to show off a pre-production prototype. Although there is to be a green run in the Goodwood Festival of Speed '09 so maybe they'll take it to that! How funny would that be?
Toyota UK has updated their website and the 3rd Gen Prius is now up there as a forthcoming model: All New Toyota Prius | 2009 Toyota Prius | Toyota UK It's also listed as a star of the Geneva show: Toyota at the Geneva Motor Show 2009: New Verso & New Prius | Toyota UK The latter lists the UK launch date as July (not June as reported in Autocar).
