From a Toyota News Release "Also arriving in August is the new 2007 Prius Touring Edition. The Touring Edition adds several sporty exterior enhancements including 16-inch alloy wheels, a larger rear spoiler, High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps and foglamps. A tuned suspension as standard equipment will enhance vehicle handling without impacting its ride comfort. The Touring Edition will carry a MSRP of $23,070." Seen one? A real one? Anyone?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ Aug 31 2006, 11:05 PM) [snapback]312610[/snapback]</div> True. But to me, "arriving in August" is a promise that cars "in-the-flesh" will be available for sale in the United States in August.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ Sep 1 2006, 10:07 AM) [snapback]312808[/snapback]</div> But since Toyota's own news release says "arriving in August", I'm wondering whether in some corner of the continent, someone has seen one "on the ground"?
http://www.donlen.com/buildstart_toyota.asp I know they aren't here in Canada either cause I just checked. The prelim specs are out but not the brochure or the vehicle. This means it'll be a month before the vehicle arrives at dealers.

Are you referring to this press release? http://pressroom.toyota.com/Releases/View?...YT2006081787813 Cause I can't the bit where they mention August.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ Sep 3 2006, 12:04 PM) [snapback]313547[/snapback]</div> I'm referring to this one. http://pressroom.toyota.com/Releases/View?...YT2006080759437 The August reference begins the sixth paragraph: "Also arriving in August is the new 2007 Prius Touring Edition."
