[uPDATE: 4th April, 2011] I still haven't got my RAV4 :( After years of happy motoring with Toyota, this dealership is causing me to rethink my loyalty. According to them, the transmission type and colour I chose make my vehicle 'rare', so they've had difficulties in sourcing/producing such a vehicle. Bull****. A McLaren F1 with a Palsonic audio head unit and ivory steering wheel would be rare. This is a frikkin Toyota. Now looking at the possibility of settling for an Auto, rather than wait months for the manual. What's worse is that after a couple of phone calls on Thursday, I discovered that there are a couple of 2011 build vehicles with EXACTLY the spec I wanted (colour and manual trans included) available in the country. They'll be wanting to offer the auto transmission at a hefty discount, as the $2000 extra far exceeds the penalty cost of breaking the contract. Yes, I've had a rotten experience and I'm rather ******...
