Hi, Tim

According to the Nissan website:
"Altima Hybrid is available in California, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Maine and New Jersey. Service of hybrid components outside those states is limited and could involve some days delay."

Doesn't mean I couldn't order from one of those states but I am very happy I decided to go with the Prius instead. There are indeed waitlists, but mine will be just about 4 weeks when mine arrives next week. So not too bad!
