No, total guess work on my part.
Thinking back to 2020 the Mk1 was announced December/Jan, then orders started in March.
My order went on the system 13-3-20 as soon as the book opened.

… both the Mk1 and Mk2 are meant to be driven, not looked at.Also my opinion is that front bumper Mk1 or Mk2, neither looks particularly good. So who cares at this point

As so many people are fond of saying when creature comforts are mentioned "but it's a rally car!"
Form follows function.
I think we'll hear something early next week, so no doubt they'll now release news later today. 
From what I can see, the official UK Toyota price list is currently offline for all models, this could be normal and happens often, or could be because they are waiting to announce pricing for something first. They've also just launched the revamped normal Yaris lineup this week which may have pushed back pricing and ordering info.
Still a headscratcher for me if it's confirmed to be online orders only, with 60 dealers having demos but they can't sell you the car direct.

My car + 249 others are already on order in Belgium. Although I did hear only 150 were available for Belgium..

In Belgium they sold out in about 1hr. So anyone thinking "I'll go to the dealer on the releaseday", you will be to late.
Wow... Could you explain how the order process works? How did you know when it was available for purchase?

.Belgium may have sold out but France doesn't seem to have a problem, you can still order on their website, but maybe with their tax probably not many takers, they will possibly ship a few extra to Belgium!
I don't see French tax being an issue if you pay it when register it to country -> no issue if registered somewhere else (IIRC)
Pretty sure France will only sell for pure tracktoys or export to other countries. Nobody will pay 100k for this car.
I contacted multiple dealers months ago to ask if they had some kind of waiting list.
Only 1 replied with "no, but I do follow the rumours closely"
I explained I wanted to buy one as a replacement for my (crashed) Porsche, and he said he was going to keep me up-to-date.
Sunday evening he mailed me that orders would open on tuesday and he gave me all the documentation. I sent him the details of my order.
Tuesday he sent me that apparently orders would only open on Wednesday. Wednesday 8:15 he sent me my order and 9:20 he sent me an email that they we're sold out
So technically it was the normal order process, but because of the limited production you have to be véry fast.Happened with the GR86 in the UK a few members of here saying their local dealer was putting in the order for them. Those dealers probably not expecting the rush or with a few orders to place failed to get them all in.
Or members saying they wanted to test drive first despite being a refundable deposit, again missed out on a car.
I wouldn’t look too much into the processes of other countries. It’s up to each country to decide how they will sell them.
All depends on personal taste, also reviewers knowing their audience which for petrolheads you’re not allowed to like high seating, automatics and EV’s even if they’re good.
Personally I find the worst bit about driving (other than others on the road) is changing gear, I get no satisfaction from it, I don’t pull up after a drive and have a few high fives and fist pumps about how good the gear changes were.
