    I was pleasantly surprised to see another Blizzard Pearl in the bank parking lot this evening. It was fun giving a thumbs up to the other driver, as he waved back.

    Also saw a Classic Silver w/Solar Roof pull up next to me at a stop light the other day. I said "nice car" to the lady but she didn't hear me. She must have been bumpin her JBL system.

    Have you seen any yet?

    Yes, we saw another Blizz like ours in VALLEJO, CA of all places. Still had the paper plates like ours does. Lots of Prius' here in our town of Morro Bay but I've yet to see a 2010; I know they've got to start showing up, the way they've been flying off the dealer's lots.

    As a matter of fact . . .

    Just today I saw a red 2010. This is the first 2010 I've seen that wasn't owned by someone I knew. I was so excited, I waived like an idiiot.

    No. I saw a Blizzard Pearl on a car carrier truck today on 280 near Daly City. Not a Toyota truck, it had several other types of cars on it, some used.

    Coming up on 4 weeks since it arrived in SF Bay Area, and no sighting of a 2010. Lots of Gen2's around here. Bunches in Marin County.

    Haven't seen one yet. I see nearly 2 dozen Gen2s every day. I'm thinking I'll be the first one I see tooling around town!

    I was in mine the day after I picked it up (June 2) and saw one on the road. Haven't seen another since.

    Yup! I saw a Blizzard Pearl on the freeway at night and it looked gorgeous. It was actually the very first Gen III I ever saw. Since then I have seen two Silver ones around town :)

    Here in Nashville, I saw a blue Gen III on the interstate more than a week ago, and then this past weekend I pulled up behind one the same color as mine (Winter Grey) with Indiana plates. I don't know if they saw me, but for a few minutes there were two Gen IIIs back to back in the Berry Hill part of town.

    I have not seen any 2010 Prius on the road in my area. I know that many were brought, it just that I have not seen them on the road. I have seen a lot of GenII thou.

    On June 12/13, we drove to Norcal (from Socal) and back - 900 miles total - and we saw a III in blue climbing the 580 freeway eastbound from Dublin on the 13th. Other than our III, that is the only one we have seen in our three weeks of ownership.

    Only 1 (black) so far. I just saw my second Insight this past weekend. Not suggesting anything WRT relative sales though...

    I know more have been sold in the twin cities but I haven't seen one yet (I wander the northwest metro if anyone happens to spy a BP V).

    Have had several Insight sightings but I usually have to have them pointed out to me. I just don't have the eye to notice them. Drove one when they were first introduced. Didn't trick my trigger. Reminded me too much of my college days when I owned a CRX HF. The CRX was a fun little car but I expect more in a vehicle now and I like to think that I've left the 80's behind (big hair included).

    I thought I saw a Blue Ribbon on Route 133 between Manchester and Essex last weekend. There have been so few available - I couldn't believe it - Steve- was that you on a joy ride????
