    I wanted to let everyone know about an opportunity from Toyota to see the 2010 Prius up-close and personal. Here is a message they posted yesterday in the PC forums:
    The Prius Team would like to extend a few extra Prius Connection invitations to our online enthusiasts. For those of you who reside in the Greater Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, we're offering the opportunity to get well-acquainted with the 2010 Prius before it’s available to the general public. In fact, for these events, there’s a special surprise planned so follow the link below if you’d like to be considered to attend. (Please note: These events are intended for local residents and Toyota is not providing reimbursements for any travel incurred. Prius Connection events are not related to the Prius Priority Pre-Order program.) If you’d like to be considered for one of the following local events, please click on this link to our website for submitting your request to attend. http://tinyurl.com/PriusConnection Los Angeles, CA: Sunday, March 1, 2009; 11am-2pm San Francisco, CA: Sunday, March 8, 2009; 11am-2pm All invitation requests received in the first 48 hours of this post will be reviewed by Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. All invitation decisions are the sole decision of Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. Please understand that space is highly limited so we would appreciate submissions from those certain they plan to attend apply.​
    For anyone even in the remote area of SF or LA, stop thinking about attending these events and just go to them. Toyota is putting on a 1st class presentation and I guarantee it is something you won't want to miss. Plus, you'll get to meet me :)

    To anyone who lives in the area and has a true interest in Prius, these events are phenomenal. I attended the NYC event and what an evening it was. Seeing the cars and getting to sit in them and 'tinker' around was a treat, getting all your questions answered by Toyota professionals was a dream come true and hey, the food and drinks are a plus too! lol But in all seriousness, if you are thinking about going, just go, you will not regret it. Thanks to Erica and the rest of the team for all the work they are putting into these events and promotions. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. :rockon:

    It's great to see the new Prius will be making an appearance here in Northern California. Sent the request. Thanks Prius Team. :)

    For those on the fence, the "surprise" (that those of us attending are aware of - who knows if there's others) would be worth the trip. I'm driving out from Phoenix on my dime for this.

    Well? Who's signing up ('sides me) ??
    Heck, it's only gong to be 68 or 70 degrees, but that's a lot better then the ZERO temps we saw at PCD last month. I went to the Nokia forum just a couple months ago or so for the 1st time. No, not for a Laker game ... Neil Diamond. It's an excelent venue. Parking is covered by the wonder folks at Prius Team, so you don't have to worry about your Prius not being there if you park too many blocks away :p

    I was seriously considering flying to San Francisco for this, it's going to be great.

    It took me nearly half an hour to press the send button to reply in the negative, it was that hard to say no.

    It's actually quite cool to be able to put faces to screen names, and for some, that alone is worth the trip. :D

    I agree very much with this, it is in fact why I came to Detroit.
    I would have seen the Prius eventually but the people are another story.
    Prius people really truly are the best people on the planet, maybe even the universe, although my experiences of other planets are severely limited, maybe too limited to make this assumption.

    Erica, is there any possibility that the power moonroof could be one-touch operation? As it stands, it's only auto-open.

    I would agree :)

    Would this be better: "Come meet my beautiful wife! And I'll stand next to her."

    So, my DH has actually been looking at maps and trying to see if there is any way we can make it to SF!

    Danny, if you decide to wander up the coast on your travels, we'd love to see you when you get to Washington :)

    i was invited to both, i declined both. however, if you have the chance, definitely go, it is a great show.

    wondering what that "special surprise" might be though...
