I contacted four local dealers looking for info on when the 2010 will arrive in southeast Louisiana. Two of them tried to push me into an '09, one of them claimed it would be several weeks before the 2010 would be available in my area (possibly yet another ploy to get me into an '09), and the last one seemed absolutely clueless that a new prius model was being released (not a ploy, just a bona-fide idiot). Here's the kicker, as I was driving through Metairie (a suburb of New Orleans), I passed a 2010 on the highway. Someone must have made a long trip to get that '10 because I'm yet to see any on dealer lots. Anyone have any inside info on when the '10s will hit the New Orleans area???
Louisiana is part of the Gulf States Toyota (GST) region. See this post: http://priuschat.com/forums/2010-toyota-prius/61955-texas-has-cars-port.html#post855391
