Something odd is happening with factory orders.

Mid August we ordered both an Aygo X Exclusive and a Yaris Cross GR Sport with safety pack both in Juniper Blue and was told 6 - 8 weeks.  Two weeks later it had slipped to end Oct or November.

We changed our order to a Persian Blue Aygo & Silver Yaris Cross as both were already in the UK.

Before we changed to the Cross GR Sport we were looking at an Excel and we were told we could not order one of those in Juniper Blue.

In the space of an afternoon my Corolla TS 2.0 order went from November to February (2.0s seem more impacted than 1.8s)

Many thanks some great suggestions here. I'm going for the Edge as it will be ready 23/9 (cancelled order from someone else) over the Pure which still says manufacture not started on my order.

Nice one sure you will be pleased. As I said before the specs are so close on the Aygo X when I was looking at one just out of interest, I would of gone for the Edge just because of body colour choice and maybe the front fogs look nice and like you would preferred smaller alloys, but heyho. Bit like when we were looking at Mk2 versions, as long as the mechanicals were Toyota, I gave Big Sis free rain to choose Aygo, C1 or 108 styling, she chose 108, again we went mid spec., partly on budget, but also cos the next version up had keyless entry and horrid alloy wheel design, which we weren't interested in.

Any reason why?

Missus ordered a Juniper Blue Yaris Cross back in early April & collected it early June.
