A call to all the Toyota dealers in the area revealed that there is
little chance that I will get a Prius with in the next 4-6 months. Even
then, I will most certainly be paying MSRP. Why play with the price when
there are a 100 people right behind you with money in hand?

I'm taking a look at Subaru's now instead. All the other hybrid vendors
are too new to the market for me to jump on their ships just yet.
