I got my Blue Ribbon Metallic Camry last February in Milwaukee. (Which is a bit north of you, but still close)

My dealer didn't have any on the lot- but transfered one from across the state.

Your dealer might just be leading you on. Blue Ribbon Metallic IS available in your area- (when they actually have cars available). It's not a very widely produced color around these parts, but they do show up from time-to-time. (Most of them around here are gray, silver, or red)

Right now the market is extremely tight for Camry Hybrids- most dealers have very few available.

Right now (5/28/08), the dealers around SE Wisconsin have:

Wilde Toyota: One, in gray
Don Jacobs Toyota: One, in gray
Andrew Toyota: three, one in red, one in beige, one in jasper
Jack Safro Toyota: four, one in silver, two in gray, one in beige
Heiser Toyota: five, one in white, two in silver, one in red, one in gray.

Good Luck!
