Exactly, however I haven’t read about that happening to anyone. Very strange.

May I ask, what was the approximate delivery date?

Mine has also moved forwards from 05/08 to 29/07.

I was told mine was an NCO on my welcome call on 23rd. I was worried at the time as I hadn’t heard anyone else being told that. However when my dealer rang they said my order showed 27 July delivery and the code on the Toyota site shows 05 August. So I’m happy with that.

Another 6MT Ignition Red - Estimated 05/08

Yes, Toyota have done a great job creating this car and selling it in Europe. However that is credit to Toyota Japan. I feel Toyota UK have botched it. You talk about dealers taking deposits is somehow not allowed. It’s always been done. When was this special order process you mention...

Not yet, no. I’m not sure at what stage it does.

Order confirmation 10:06 20/04 Call to confirm 15:15 22/04 They couldn’t give me a delivery date however my nominated dealer called yesterday and said their system showed 27 July delivery estimate.

How do you know how many orders have been taken in the uk? It’s possible that due to the steam driven nature of the website that they took the 400 orders and before they could turn off the order button took loads more. That would explain the 40 minutes and 90 minutes figures being given ie...

Interesting that the web team admitted the online order only route was decided last minute. That would explain why dealers were also caught on the hop. Could the sudden change be to do with the early bird online orders? Maybe there were a lot more placed than the 30 mentioned.

I had my call Friday. Are we going by order confirmation email time? If so mine was 10:06. EDD is TBA however. Still waiting to hear if anyone else gets told that, plus if that means I’m not in the first 400 batch.

Thanks, I hope so. It’s been such a rollercoaster this ordering lark. Relax and order from the comfort of your home they said :giggle:

I agree. I’ll be interested to see if anyone else gets told they can’t be given a delivery date yet and the time they ordered.

Thanks. It’s good knowing I’ll get a car at least but not so good not knowing when. It does make it seem like the initial batch in production is already fixed in terms of colours although that would surprise me.

Yes, I did this morning and then called this afternoon.

Just had my welcome call. Ordered confirmed at 10:06. Ordered manual / Red. However he couldn’t give me a delivery estimate. He called it an uncovered order ie there is currently no slot for it. So not too happy as I thought I was quick off the mark.

@AndyRC - I’m on twice, #23 and #71. I did change my colour though to Red.

There is a section in the T&Cs called Changed your Mind. You have 14 days after collection. I’m not sure if it’s covered by Distance Selling Regulations.

@AndyRC - Another confirmed. Red / Manual.

If the dealers were told well in advance that this model was going to be online only then I agree with you. However as so many dealers around the country took deposits in the expectation they would get an allocation of cars, it does seem like they were blindsided by Toyota UK at the last minute.
