This is the Million $ question! (well.. besides the actual price question).

The last article we had stated shipping to begin to US on April 20th.. which led everyone to believe we'd start seeing cars in early to mid-may. Still even then, nobody really knows how long it takes for the cars to get across the ocean, get through customs, sit in port, have any port installed accessories installed, and then ship by rail or truck to dealerships.. I think the general consensus was at least 3 weeks. So if the shipping begins April 20th, i think we'd see cars at dealers by May 15th.

Now, if they have them on the ground by April 20th.. that would be awesome!!

One thing we don't really know is whether the production start of March 16th included US bound cars? They could have been making them for Japan or other markets for the first few weeks? Maybe RHD only?



I would be very excited if they were on the ground by April 20th! I'm #1 of 9 at my dealer, so in theory I should have one within the first couple weeks.
