He says he's going in tomorrow for a test drive, and, presumably, to sign the paperwork. I'm a bit concerned about delivery times, but looking at posts here, I think 3-5 months could well be reasonable.

We are up in Canada, 90 mins north of Toronto.

I have no car. I'm on disability, and my out of province licence has been expired since 2007, so his car is the one I'm in most often.

Call ahead to make sure they have a Cross on the lot. Almost every dealer I've checked with has none to test drive; they are just taking orders with a deposit.

there's one for test drive up here! he sat in it! he's going back tomorrow for the test drive he says, but he will be calling ahead.

The order is in! As of an hour ago, all the papers are signed. now its just a matter of waiting....

taps fingers

maybe I should call the factory to see if they've started yet 😆
(I think the waiting is gonna be harder on me than it will be on my dad!)

Try joining the Corolla cross Canada Facebook group. Lots of people who ordered theirs Nov/Dec last year still haven’t got them, and haven’t even begun the building process. I ordered Feb 10 and have heard nothing so far. I’m about an hr out of Toronto

My order went in on 12/23/21. Build date is supposed to be May 5th. I'll believe it when the Cross shows up at the dealer. 🙏

Build date is supposed to be May 5th.

curious how long a car takes to "build" anyway. can they start attaching the first piece and finish attaching the last piece in the same day?

 

[jpmccormac]

Yes if all parts (especially chips) are on hand. Otherwise they'll park it in a lot and add chips at a later day, week(s).

so it's been about 6 weeks. he's not called to get an update yet; but, I'm getting the impression that they'll tell us it's probably not going to get done this year.
