    Thanks! I bought a 2012 Two new in October 2012 and it has been the best and most rewarding car I have ever owned. All the best to you as well!

    Took delivery of a 3 touring Sunday. Got 800 off msrp but paid both SE Distributor and dealer fees. Was 30,787 out the door, taxes, transfer, lic, everything. I test drive a 4 touring but took the 3 touring home. I DIDN'T LIKE IT, seemed jittery on the freeway and didn't have blind spot warning. Took it back and got a 4 touring for $1900 more yesterday. I wasn't planning to buy but hit on a day when they were very hungry. I knew this was a fair west coast price but didn't think they would bite in Florida. I am very sensitive to ride and this particular 4 touring might have been just put together better.

    This is my second Prius. The 2010 Gen3 I used as a pickup truck is going to my 21 year old daughter who cooked her 2002 VW Beatle this week. Most reader will cringe at what I'm about to do to my 4T cargo area. It may be a crime.

    Nice -- I debated between 4T with PCP and 4 with ATP+PCP, but the moonroof + HUD trumped the 17" wheels in the end.

    Any plans to install fog/clearance lights? Plan to get a 4 with atp+pcp but don't like the look of that filler piece especially with blizzard pearl (also my preferred color).

    The sound is amazing! I really didn't think it would make much difference but the speakers are just a step above.

    Krmcg, very nice photos. moonroof does look nicer opened than on Gen 3.

    As I am reading this thread just now, on TV they had a commercial saying Gen4 coming here Jan 29...they had a white one on TV.

    How do I get the cruise control to work? When we press the on button and tap it up, it should display the MPH we want right? Well it didn't do that. I saw a video on how exactly to set the cruise control but couldn't see the MPH.
