    Thanks for the detailed review. I ordered Cruiser AWD Hybrid in Graphite in June 21. Just went into production this month so will be a 2 year wait for us once delivery is received. I think 24-36 month wait is definitely what you should expect if placing a deposit today.

    Hi, I went to toyota near my place and was planning to place an order on XSE AWD HYBRID but they said they don't recommend me to order XSE because toyota is planning to discontinue production of XSE so my time might be wasted. Like for example 12 month wait then toyota decides to discontinue it then I have to wait again for another 12 months for different model. Is that true? Or it is just a marketing strategy to increase sales of the higher tier modes like cruiser and edge? Everyone please share your thoughts. Thank you
