    Seem to be no shortage of Prius C's, at least around
    here. Are local N/W dealership has two and most
    dealers ships in the area I believe may even have more.

    This part of the county is mainly pickup trucks and big
    SUV's so....

    How is it where you live?

    It's been like a feeding frenzy here. The only one that lasted a little while in Honolulu was a Habanero CII - actually - it was reserved but the sale fell through and they called me but I didn't take it. It quickly disappeared.

    I think the Kauai people may have poached some of ours.:)

    I've been back to the dealer 4 or 5 times hoping someone cancels or some stealth shipment comes in but they keep telling me my C is coming "sometime in April".:frown:

    When I stopped by a dealer last weekend, they only had one Prius c that has been sold. It has a sign on it that says no test drive.

    There was zero Prius v. Nothing was in sight.

    The dealership where I bought mine from had around 8-10 Prius C's about a week ago. We test drove a metallic gray III, but bought a moonglow III with moonroof.

    two is not a lot :). Check how many Camry's they have or Prii and then you can compare the numbers.

    With regards to numbers, Toyota didnt say how many it shipped first month but I doubt it will be more than Yaris numbers (4k/month), probably closer to 3k.

    I have not seen when in the wild yet. :(

    I have not looked at dealer lots but I'll check in the next few days when I hit up the parts counter.

    Last I checked dealers have a few c, but my closest 2 Toyota dealers and one farther north don't have any listed. However, every one to south has one, most with around 4. At least, that's on their websites, but as we know they're updated automatically so might be out of date. I haven't seen a c in the wild.
