Waiting For 2008 Ultima From Japan

[David from Melbourne]

I have been fortunate to be able to participate in Toyota Australia's "Family Vehicle Purchase Scheme", which allows a 21% discount off RRP on the Ultima ("only" 15% discount on the Conquest, so the Ultima is the better purchase).

However, on ordering the vehicle through the dealer, have been told that it probably won't be manufactured until April.

Is anyone else experiencing this kind of delay on 2008 compliance Corollas? Or do employee discount purchases get placed on a slower queue?

I've just discovered there is an Australian version of this forum, so I'll post over there.
