    Hello from a newbie from Richmond, British Columbia!
    We are about to order our 2010 Prius in Blizzard Pearl and are considering the "technology package" or perhaps "touring package" as leather seats and NAV is not a must have.

    We rather have 17" alloy wheels and upgraded tires (providing the springs and shocks are different on the 2010) as well as the LED headlamps & fog lamps. Only thing holding us back is that we like the moonroof/solar panel option that we can order with the "touring package". :mad:

    Any suggestions and comments will be appreciated. Looks like a great forum and source of valuable information. TIA.

    I cant believe I see you here Beng~ you beat me to this forum~ (and abandoning fitfreak =P)

    Just stick with technology package and then order LED Headlamp and Fog Lights from the stealership - follow by a DIY over the weekend.

    I'm getting the white too btw =)

    :welcome: both of you to PriusChat. Lotsa new Canadian members this year... and lotsa tech owners too lol.

    I was also debating btwn the two packages. I went with the Tech instead. The LEDs/17 would work fine back in Vancouver but up here, it's the middle of summer and they haven't fixed the *** damn potholes so a 17" has a really good chance of getting bent or damaged.

    So both of you won't have yours yet when I'm up there Saturday? Darn.

    I won't be in my Prius, but will be in a Subaru driving alongside a thousand bicycles.

    Nope. I'm more than happy to have another Prius Meet. The last one I went to was 2005.

    You can count on Guinness and I to show up for all Prius meets when we get our cars. We both love to join group meets and drives! :D

    I'll agree with that; also remember we have the best dimsum and Chinese food!

    Our favorite hangout for dimsum is Sun Sui Wah. :D
