Don't take delivery in november or you won't get the new $3200.00 income tax credit. You have to take delivery on or after jan 1 2006.
I am at Long Island, NY and I already pre ordered what I want in my 2006 prius and gave a $500.00 deposit. The salesman said he will have the prices and options in mid to end september. And he will call me to firm up my order.
here is the latest best guess about what will be offered. I got this off priuschat.com
