    We can't wait. Blizzard Pearl white with ATP an dark grey interior. Actually got to sit in it today. They are taking it in morning to tint the windows. Traded our 2010 RX350 in on it. Anyone think we are crazy, let me know your feelings. It was getting 16.5 in town, where it is driven the most. Hope to get 45-50 with this Prius v.

    You're crazy?! Hah, I think it's a great move. Sure...the RX is a plush ride, but dude....so is the V!
    I think you're making a great move, fuel economy, emissions, and financially. The V will depreciate a lot less than the RX in the coming years.
    Great machine, congrats! Happy new car day.

    Thanks Nathan, so glad to hear comments like that. My wife seems really excited after sitting in it this afternoon. She always said she was a RX girl, but now maybe a "V" girl.....lol

    I just picked up MY Blizzard Pearl, dark gray interior with ATP yesterday. I am looking forward to having tomorrow off to play around with all the "bells and whistles" and learn all it's cool features.

    You're gonna love it!

    They are a lot of fun. Give yourself time to learn the features. I'm still occasionally finding things I didn't realize and I read the manual cover to cover. Be patient and ask questions as needed. And no I don't think you are nuts. This car was information overload for a bit though. I felt like I was piloting the space shuttle on the rid home from the dealership in the dark. W

    We sold our 2007 RX350 to my sister when we got our second 2009 Prius.

    Two years later she drove me to the dealer to pick up our Prius v. Now she wants a Prius v, even though her RX is in perfect condition and she loves it. The v just resonates with people.

    Thanks, so good to hear. We have had this v for two days and are loving it lots. I am quickly getting over the RX, especially every time I look at the mpg on the dash, currently at 45.7
