    Where'd you buy yours? I bought mine in Bethesda and test drove a sea glass pearl. I have seen a few on 270, 355, 495 and on 66 in VA. I've seen a white one and a grey one in the Rockville area. I havent seen another red one or a blue one but seen white and grey a few times. (I drive like 2 miles per day so I'd just say I'm lucky..)

    In WI I've seen 1 in the last two weeks. Interesting to note that our dealer had only 2 used Prii for sale one week ago, now they have a dozen. I wonder if a bunch of people traded in for the Gen 4?

    I saw a red one like yours the other day and thought it was an extremely attractive color, particularly in combination with the black pieces on the rest of the car. I'm happy with my blue one, though - and with the extra $395 I have in my pocket!

    I bought mine at Darcars in Silver Spring but had also been to Bethesda and nearly bought one there. The white one you saw in Rockville might have been mine! Where did you see it? Maybe I just don't recognize them or something. I can't understand why you have seen so many already when you drive so little, while I haven't seen any and I've already driven nearly 3000 miles!

    My car hit 1000 miles this weekend. Only reason is we've made 2 long trips to family in Virginia and also we use my car on the weekends. Usually in Rockville, it'd be on 355 as we usually do our weekend errands in Rockville on 355. I saw a silver one parked near REI a couple weeks ago, which may have been my first parked '16 Prius.

    I'm driving 50 miles a day in Yorkshire, and I've seen the dealers silver demo again that I test drove, and a blue one. Having owned a mini (briefly!), I am planning to try the comradely flashing other Priuses - sadly, I spotted them too late to do this. Saw a couple of previous gens, that I probably wouldn't have otherwise noticed when I wasn't driving a Prius. In just half a mile the other day I saw 3 new Kia Sportages, all in white. Over here, the 2 dealers I visited gave an August wait to pick any Prius other than the showroom display. Perhaps in the summer it will be easier to spot another gen 4!

    Do Prius drivers still flash each other in U.K.? I'm not sure whether it would be taken as a friendly greeting here or a warning that they are doing something wrong! I saw the first one on the road today! It was a Sea Glass Pearl and looked very nice.

    The first one I saw was actually a neighbors a few houses away, in blue. I wasn't surprised, as they are huge Prius lovers. Other than that, saw one in white a few days ago. Not too bad, since I only saw one 2016 Volt, and it's been out longer. Teslas I see daily around here. A few months ago 3 passed in the opposite direction in the span of 5 minutes, taunting me as each passed!

    True, over here a flash from an oncoming driver is most likely to warn of a police speed camera van set up ahead - but I thought combined with a cheery wave and the rarity of the new Prius it might be more likely seen as a greeting.
    do not know if Prius drivers flashed each other before, the only car I've owned where you flash other models was in the 1st Mini. First time it happened, I thought something was up, the lass I was with was like "you doughnut- he's flashing you cos you're in a Mini too, flash him back!"

    AFAIK around these parts only motorcyclists greet each other when passing, but not with headlights. They give each other a low wave with the left hand. Guess it would be with the right hand where you are in the UK (the throttle side???). I'll have to make an effort to catch a Mini doing that. Too many Prii around here to wave at each one!

    The only ones that I see are taxis in NYC, but wow, there are hundreds of them.

    I did the I-10 from Phoenix to LA today, stopping near Palm Springs to use the restroom at a Casino. I saw six 2016s on the road, and four on the first floor of the parking garage.

    Saw my first Gen 4 Prius in the wild today (besides mine) and it also was Blue crush.

    It was parked at the Whole foods parking lot.

    However, there is another 2016 at the place I work - however, I have the only Touring..... :)

    I haven't seen another one yet, but then again I've only done less than 487 miles in mine.

    I kind of been enjoying the only Prius gen 4 around until today. Exiting Costco I saw a gen 4 pulling in. Worst yet, it's silver....same color as mine. Damn!!!! :)

    I've had my new Prius for 3 months now and have seen surprisingly few, until it hit me about what I don't like about the new design.... it is not distinctive enough. When I bought my '04 spotting Priuses was easy. Now I keep thinking I've seen one only to find out it's a Camry.

    That being said, I do love the new look.
