That's great news! My Dynamic Premium is 22 weeks from last week so there's hope for me yet !

Because of holidays not until 7th January. Omicron permitting we are away in CZ for Christmas and the dealership is only open limited hours until new year. That also puts 2022 on the V5 even though technically it is (presumably) a 2021MY spec car. I am hoping to get a sneak peak on Saturday so will know if it has the 2022 lights/grille - or not.

Nice one Adrian hope you enjoy it.

Intend doing so!

Good man. 🍾

[Flatcoat]

There you go! It looks to me like 2021MY headlights….. 

[Bcc212]

Very nice! Interesting that the Toyota website includes the MY2022 headlights on PHEV build images. This has changed since last week.

Looks very familiar to me, looks just like my PHEV in terms of grill, fog lights etc.

I placed my order on the 22nd October for my PHEV Dynamic and just checked the app to find out its left the factory. Strangly did not get any notifcations or emails. I have no idea when it left the factory forget to check the app in about a week.

Looks very nice in red, much better then dreary black or dreary grey.

If It’s the colour you want that’s all that matters.

[Flatcoat]

To be honest we had grey in mind until we saw a red HEV on the forecourt. The grey (when clean) looks very classy with the black roof. When dirty it isn’t a good look.

Me too and my trade in is in black😂   Yours from the photos looks a lovely colour though 👍

Anyone with a bigger brain than myself try figure out what ships have left from Nagoya in the last week or scheduled in the next week to the UK? I got overwhelmed looking at that 130pages on the Yarris Forum.

I picked grey because I was hoping it would hide the dirt!!

Just depends how dark the grey is. Road dirt tends to dry light greyish and so is hid when the car is silver grey..

Obviously colours are personal choice, I would prefer a white car then a black car. I have owned a few white but never owned a black one.

I actually wanted a blue one with silver trims, but guess what you can't have if you pick the Excel spec...

Grey and red trims was the backup option - It does look mean, but I'm always slightly scared someone will crash into the side of me as it's definitely less visible side-on compared to a blue one when light levels go down... is partly why i wanted red trims on the side too but Jemca messed that up in the order and still haven't rectified it hmm, I think we're at 7-8 months now?

Every two years (over the last 6 years) I get a black one, it does show the dirt but the Toyota Protect film that they put on the paint tends to help as the rain wash off, to a certain extent. Although I'm going grey this year (the car that is😂).

It gets stranger, though. My car was showing "in transit" at Onnaing (Valenciennes), and that it was soon to be shipped to the dealer. Today, in My T shows "in transit" in Onnaing, but My Toyota, on the web, shows Kolin (CZ), like the car had gone back to the factory.

Status diving, or looking at the data sent to the web page, shows that the car has, in fact, left Onnaing today (17/12/2021) and that is en route to the dealer with an estimated arrival date of 20/12 which gives them two days to prepare the car for me.

If I remember correctly this happened with mine and I read the same for others. I believe this happens when it moves so hopefully this is good news and it's now actually on route to the dealer. Mine returned to the correct status after a few hours
