Priuses, Priuses everywhere...(aka Prius Sightings)

I should have said I saw that silver 04 in northern Alabama and the dealer was a southern middle tennessee dealer.

And just yesterday I saw another silver 04. Looked just like mine except for the dealer name on the back. This was also in northern Alabama and this dealer was also from northern Alabama.

This one was driving in the opposite direction and when I finally did a U turn to catch up and say Hi, they wuz gone.

I finally saw one Saturday night here in Columbia! It was about 2am, and there it was - must've been a #9 from what I could tell - if that person happens to come to PC, please drop me a note!

After seeing no 04's at all, I saw 4 of them yesterday - 3 on a transport carrier (unfortunately not headed to my dealer in Elmhurst, IL) and a black one parked in a driveway on Carpenter St. here in Oak Park (belong to anyone here?)

Silver BC on order - 61 days and counting

I finally saw my first official wild '04 on Dec 14th. And I wasn't even in my home city. I saw it in Cleveland, OH and to my surprise and delight it was a Tideland Pearl (my chosen but heretofore unseen favorite color). Unfortunately, it sped by so quickly, that I couldn't even savor the moment.

On the other hand, in my neck of the woods (Western NY), I had never seen any hybrids until about a month ago. I saw a honda civic and a classic prius at a meeting (topic: windmills) and heard tell of a person who had just taken delivery of a new prius. I MAY have seen a silver '04 - it was dark and they were going in the other direction - it might have been a Matrix. Finally, I saw a lt green classic on the last leg of my commute.

Our two (so they each claim) highest volume dealers are only getting 1-2 '04's per month. Both waitning lists have around 20 people on them. Definitely scarce around these parts. Okay, I'm getting off topic...

I've seen one white 04 twice now on my visit here in Denver. I believe that it's the same vehicle as I've seen it in roughly the same neighbourhood, around the Buckingham Square Mall (for the Aurora and Denver locals).

My Mother immediately balked at the cars styling. Both of my folks immediately see where I'm coming from on the miniscule rear passenger area caused by that low roofline. I really hope that Toyota fixes that oversight on the next generation, when I'll likely be back in market for another commuter.

Just today I stopped at a stopsign right next to another 2004. my salsa by her tideland. we simultaneously rolled windows down and said "i love your car!!" I guess the 'v' would be less dangerous and less likely to stimulate road rage in those frustrated old fashioned car drivers. trying to acheive stealth at the same time seems a bit too intimate... hmmm.... we do need a good greeting.

OMG!!! My son saw a Salsa red 2004 in Erie last weekend! Maybe the Prius is such a great leap that even this area may embrace it.
