    Today the PriusChat staff contingent is beginning to make its way to Detroit for the North American International Auto Show and the unveiling of the all-new Toyota Prius. I plan on blogging from the events and we might even put together a live chat for during the reveal.

    Stay tuned for Twitter feeds, pictures, info, and more!

    I leave early tomorrow...looking forward to the event!

    My flight departs at 10am. Eek, I hope the snow storm delays aren't too bad and that I get there before the fun begins!

    It's pretty brutal here. By that I mean three inches of snow with no salt or sand on the roads recently. The traction control and abs is working overtime today. The Traffic is moving very slowly, accidents sprinkled all over, expected to snow until midnight, then you guys should be okay tomorrow.
    Um, if I was coming in from AZ, I would prepare for Tuesday's high of -16C (three degrees US). Enjoy the show. I might try and hit the "industry preview" day-not that I work in the industry, but for the extra money you get to avoid the huge crowds on the public days.

    SUPERB !!!!

    "As seen on PriusChat.com" :D

    YouTube videos are a plus. :)

    When is the big date? What day is the unveiling?
  5. Tideland Prius
    The unveiling is on Monday.

    It would be nice to keep all such recounting of the event in ONE,
    or maybe two, threads, as the leadup to the event has been way
    too fraught with "too many threads creep" and it's been almost
    impossible to keep track.

    *snicker* Good luck on that one!

    I get up in eight hours. Hmmm. Nowhere near bedtime yet. What to do, what to do.

    Yahooo! Way 'to go before' for us :rockon:
  12. V8Cobrakid
    ... not sure if i'll make it or not... everything keeps going wrong. no cell charger, 2 dead batteries, missing luggage bags... not sure where they went.. but i may have to use a normal backpack.. o well.. laptop crapped out on me... etc..

    i was going to cancel a few days ago.. but.. i'm Trying to convince myself i'll be happier ON this trip. another part of me wants to drag it down and make it miserable for others... i get up to leave in 5 hours... (if i go)
  13. Patrick Wong
    That, we don't need. Hope that you will find the 2010 introduction to be an enjoyable and positive experience.

    In any event, don't worry about your laptop, since computers will be available for our use in Detroit.

    I'm looking forward to meeting the PriusChat staff!
  14. jprates
    I would love to be there, meet my own personal gurus like yourself, Hobbit, Bob Wilson, and all the others who I read constantly at yahoo's PTS group and here.

    Unfortunately it is too far away for me, and the expenses would be huge. I will have to make myself happy in the latter Geneve auto show where the European version will be presented.

    Have fun you all, and please do report every single detail about the car! :rockon:
  15. Genoz World
    GODSPEED to all my friends.

    report well, send lots of photos and take care.

    i'll be looking here to find the latest!

    cheers.
  16. V8Cobrakid
    i didn't go. enjoy.bye

    I figure the bird brain aussie (patsparks) is half way between CA an Hawaii about now. I'll be landing in 5 hours ... woo hoo!
  18. Rokeby
    For the record, do we know who the lucky PriusChatters are that got invited
    to Detroit? Probably these:

    Patrick Wong
    patsparks
    TonyPSchaefer
    efusco
    danny
    hill
    usbseawolf2000
    HTMLSpinnr
    darelldd
    flareak
    Hobbit
    Rae Vynn
    Bob Wilson

    and others perhaps? (Oops, is this supposed to be 'privileged information?')

    From the postings, I can't always tell invitees from members who may be
    attending on their own.
  19. JimboK
    Well, the info really isn't privileged anymore, but I'll let others speak for themselves. They might choose to stay low profile. But I'm in, sitting in RIC as we speak awaiting my (delayed) flight. Yeehaw!
