Just placed my order last week "Starfire Pearl, Black Interior with Technology Package" - delivery mid to late October. Probably a 2012 model.

Starfires are popular. But you won't regret the CT and the tech package. Real fun. Plus the money you save on gas always puts a smile on my face

I notice a few people (Ontario) have been saying mid to late October delivers and have been saying 2012 model. Since 2011 model just came out in March, do you think they will have 2012 model so soon. Especially with what happened with Japan? That or 2012 model won't have many updates.

Could it be based on the usual practice of model year change over usually in the Fall eg. Most MY 2012 vehicles start selling in Fall of 2011?
Like the new M-B 2012 ML350 BlueTec and the VW 2012 Passat TDI will be on sale here in Canada this Fall.

So although the CT was made available in March 2011 perhaps it was already sold in other parts of the world last Fall?

So if we only get our CTs in Oct we could then be getting a 2012 model and that would be a bonus!

mrcandy posted on another forum : Correct, at least for Canada. I was sent a copy of the 2012 VOAS (vehicle ordering guide), it shows the following changes to the 2012 lineup:

Addition of an F-sport package which adds to the premium package and excludes the technology package. Available in starfire pearl, obsidian, and ultrasonic blue mica.

Mercury grey metallic replaces smoky granite mica.

Delivery is supposed to begin in late October to early November.

Ouuu an F-Sport package would have been cool, but I love the tech package /w Nav, and HID

Hmm... So your saying the F-sport is coming to Canada in 2012?! Wonder if that means the States will get it too seeing that there both North American??

I do believe the tech package is with LED headlights, not HIDs. No CT's have HID headlights.

That's what I meant. Sorry. Brainfart when typing

My Sales guy also showed me the F Sport and new color (blue) will be in the 2012 model year. I think they are scraping the yellow as well.
I am wondering if/when there will be a plug-in with larger battery like the next Prius is supposed to have?

Killing the yellow color is ont a bad thing i dont know why they tought it would be
Popular.

Curios to see the new grey.
