    Sweet. I spotted this one parked in front of my house this morning, but that's because I parked it there for Toyota to come pick up. Is that cheating? ;)

    I saw one yesterday evening in the same color and with the same logos as shown in the previous post. It was in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles.

    Here's a hint: The PHV's are only one color and all have the same logos ;)

    Toyota went w/ a unique light Metallic Blue w/ silver handle and lift-gate insert accents to stand the car out from the standard Prius.

    Some have additional decals. I have about 10 pictures on my phone from the California Center for Sustainable Energy Event last Sunday.
    I will try to figure out how to attach them. They were allowing short test drives of the PHV Prius.
    They had 1 Leaf (more of the center of attention) and 1 red Tesla Roadster Sport, no test drives on those though.

    I am adding more attachments.

    If you look way in the background (behind the Tesla) you can see another PHV Prius. I am not sure how common the Leaf is but I included a photo of one too.

    I know I am off post but 2 more Leaf pictures. It looks like a nice little car. I did not try to get "too close", the crowd was pretty deep around it, every one wanted to sit in it and kick the tires. Surprisingly, there wasn't much of a line to drive the PHV Prius.

    Those additional decals were specific to the event - otherwise you've got a "stock" PHV. Thanks for sharing the pics - they're awesome!

    I see a 12V in the Leaf. Pb seems out of place in that beautiful car.

    wow under the bonnet of that Leaf looks exactly like an ICE? they could have been far more creative with the 'engine' cover...

    I saw a PHV Prius yesterday on the 110N around 4pm. It didn't have any vinyl on it to denote it to be a plug in version but I noticed the light blue color so I sped up and on the driver side, I saw the cap for the plug. Pretty cool stuff

    A couple of days ago we saw a PHEV Prius at our local Starbucks.

    No idea who it was - they were apparently having lunch at the Mexican restaurant next door.

    There's one I see charging in a driveway just a mile from me- still don't know who it is.
