GR Yaris Ooooo! An update!

All colours are built simultaneously (see this still from the Motomachi build video, click for full thing), so unless they literally ran out of paint I doubt the colour has anything to do with it.

Slightly off topic… but noted the ‘correct’ technique to close the bonnet is to let it drop from a short height. Demo’d at 11m42s.
 
Heh, that's how I've been closing every bonnet I've used for decades... just enough height for it to defeat the latch and close itself, without me having to put my hands on it

Yep that was my thoughts. And as above if you tried putting your hands on an aluminium bonnet more chance to bend it.

Hi all

Looks like it's finally happening for me! I think I might be in shock.

KA32 order placed towards the end of June '21 at the local RRG. The last update I got from my dealer was at the beginning of October for a Jan delivery, then a courtesy call just before Christmas to say car was built and in transit and still on for Jan.

Still took it with a pinch of salt given how long it has been and all the push backs, but I just had a call from him to say the car will be with them later this week and I can collect next week - heading over there tomorrow to complete the rest of the paperwork 😁

MyT still stubbornly processing order. If I could have the time back I've spent diligently refreshing it each morning over the last 19 months...

Anyway, hope this gives some glimmer of hope to others who ordered around the same time.
 
It is and at the same time its not. People with april orders in Germany are still waiting for their cars.
 
KB4 Pearl white, Ordered on the 6th of June 21, arrived at the dealer yesterday. It didn’t change from order processing on the app until it arrived at dealer .
What a great surprise! Fully expecting for it to be delayed until atleast April!

Left the factory! I didnt get a notification so it might have happened few days earlier already. Anyways, 3-4 weeks in build (build started 26.12) seems a lot longer than what others have reported.

Hah, you obviously haven't talked to me then, mine was in build between late June and late August, then when the boat I was tracking transited the Suez Canal, I saw on MyT that my shipped date moved from the last week of August to the early part of September, 75 days, or nearly 11 weeks.

Although Christmas new year likely had some reduced working.
 
For what it’s worth:
- KA3xxx order from 26 June 2021
- got a notification on Jan 11 that the car was at the dealer
- picked it up 10 days later - finance papers on the 2-year 0% financing sorted without asking
So looks like a) MyT is useless (I’d have loved a heads up to get myself prepared; and b) the commitments from 2021 are honoured no questions asked
To all those still waiting, hang in there and expect the same not-so-helpful “it’s arrived” out of the blue
