G'day Josh, did toyota ring you to say its on the line for production? Just wanted to verify what my dealer said. I still haven't had any contact yet. It's exciting to get a new car, Just wait and see how nervous you get when you park it at the supermarket. You will probably park so far away from any other car it will be like a marathon walk to the shop😁.
I have been in that situation with new cars before.
Cheers Dave

My wife has said word's to very similar effect(🤣) I'm getting genuinely excited to be honest, it's a new chapter of independence and freedom( although costly) that I'm looking forward to the most.
I'll fill you in once I get those keys,
Warm regards Josh

G'day All,
Rang the dealership 2 day's ago to find out expected delivery date of my car ( been without one for 4yrs) sadly as I'm now finding out, and it works a little different in Oz, expected wait time for my car was always around 6-8mth mark. Sales manager at where the car will be delivered to hasn't received the shipping manifest from Japan but as its so close to scheduled delivery,I should have it within 6weeks from now.
After test driving it 9mths ago, ive actually forgotten what it was like to drive - I must of liked it though 😂. Patience and tolerance is in Very short supply though.

G'day Josh, well you might be surprised, no not yet. I have been quoted end of September. At least I have had words from Toyota that it is being built now. Next thing it will be shipped and all the dock procedures etc. inspection so forth. So I ordered it January 2 2024, a long time ago. But we do get the new facelifted model.
I assume you are really happy with yours.

Oh Dave,
I can't say what I really want to say🤬, yes to answer you question, I am really happy with Lil Red as I call her. Its just such a tidy car, built for the city as the fuel economy is nearly always under 5L/100 km , plenty of grip, I have no doubt you will be happy for when it does finally arrive.

I have been to the dealers to have a look at the new model and I am looking forward to getting it at long last. Hoping the delivery is not extended any more. Glad to hear your happy with Lil Red.

I'm elated for you, so chuffed that after nearly 2yrs that you finally have it. Cutting a long story short,my wife had a Hire car recently and from the same company that makes the Impreza,it was a hybrid as well and I took it for a quick drive and thought Yuck, the Cross felt like a Rolls Royce in comparison. They aren't perfect ,but I have Zero complaints compared to the alternatives.
Warmest regards and thankyou for your communication.
Josh.
