    I saw my first yesterday in Stanley, KS turning north onto Antioch. The color was Absolutely Red.

    I may have seen another red Prius C earlier in the day, but I was too far away to be sure.

    Saw a white C on Friday driving home down US 66 and then again on Saturday while out shopping I saw a Absolutely Red C turning into central park off of Rt 3. That makes 3 I've seen in the wild so far.

    It was that crazy Orange color!

    I spotted a C1 on the computer at the local dealer and we went for a test ride.
    Nice salesman said "Here's the keys, see you later".
    We are in the process of trying to buy a C2 in red for my wife.
    If all goes smoothly with the trade-in (2003 Corolla) we might have it in a couple weeks.

    The test drive car wasn't prepped at all. It had white stick-on paper on the hood and roof.
    Plastic wrap all over the drivers seat and paper all over the shotgun seat.

    We had been looking at getting a 2013 KIA Rio with ISG, but the price is going to be within $150 of a C1.?.

    The C1 is fine, but I think the C2 is better for us, since it has cruise and the arm rest.. :)
    My wife said "Any color but Orange"! I think she's going to love it in red.. :p

    Cheers,
    Rich

    Spotted a blue streak metallic C in Plattsmouth, Nebraska!

    It was headed into the Casey's gas station, but apparently to shop, not to buy gas. :)

    So either the driver is a transplant, or blue-collar small towners are starting to buy 'em!

    Spotted a Summer Rain Metallic in Chapel Hill, NC last Friday evening -- 5.4.12. It's only the second Prius c I've seen in the Triangle area, besides my own.

    Have seen three on the road:

    - Habanero, near Melbourne, FL at end of March
    - Habanero, parked by house in Door County, WI (Sister Bay maybe) at end of April
    - Silver or gray, at Elgin Toyota last Saturday when getting plates mounted (bought mine in Indiana where they don't use front plates - didn't want to drill into it myself!!!)

    Saw my second one today, Magnetic Gray Metallic. Near 405 in North Hills. Still had dealer plates so I figure they bought it fairly recently.

    Saw my first...in Miyakubo, Japan! I was about to get out of the car at a restaurant and saw one pull up and stop at a light. I got a couple quick pictures of it before it drove off. While that was the first and only one I've seen on the streets so far, the Prius hatchback is just as popular here, as in the US and I see them everywhere. A neighbor just down the street from where I'm staying has a Prius Alpha (Prius V). That is also the only V I've seen so far.

    I also managed to go to Toyota's Mega Web in Odaiba and saw a couple Prius Aquas on display. They were quite popular with the crowds and, at times, had a small line of families waiting to get in and see what they were like.

    After 6 weeks of driving my C 80 miles a day in two states(RI and MA) I finally say one on Friday May the 11th. It was only a brief glance. Long enough to be sure it was a C, but not long enough to see the plates (could have been dealer).

    Saw a third one today. We were both stuck in traffic :mad: on 5N in Buena Park near the Valley View Ave exit. It was Moonglow like mine, not sure what package. I finally got to see what the color looks like in the sun. Definitely the best color! :D
