NO YARIS! - Toyota Yaris Forums

I basically had the same issue. I put in a special order for a 5-speed liftback (with power package, ABS, and side airbags) in November, and then, at the 5-month point (after two confirmations from the dealer that the factory had accepted the order) I was told that the order had fallen through the cracks at the regional level. Evidently a regional rep assumed that my car was in production, when in fact it wasn't.

I was lucky. My dealer found a car on its way into port remarkably similar to the way I had ordered mine (it's even the same color!). It was diverted from its original destination on the West Coast and should be at my dealer's lot at the end of this week. The dealer is adding some accessories I wanted and changing out the stock 15" steel wheels for Toyota 15" 7-spoke alloys. I'm supposed to take delivery early next week, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed until I have the keys in my hand.

It will have been nearly 6 months after I initally placed my order.
