I emailed Toyota dealers in my state (Oregon) asking to be put on the list for a 2004 Prius and received only one response. The dealer said that they had been told by Toyota to stop taking names as the total allocation for 2004 has been spoken for and there would be no more available until the 2005 version comes out at some as yet to be determined date
. Has anyone had a similar experience or is this a local or regional thing? I'm still hopeful, and willing to be patient to some degree, but 2005 seems a long way off and I'd hate to see Toyota take advantage of the popularity and raise the price for the 2005.
