    I've only seen a couple of Gen 4s in Minnesota. I always do a double-take. No Prime sightings yet, though.

    I see lots of Gen 4s around here. Mostly with "Sun Toyota" license plate brackets since that's the nearest dealer. But I still only see what I assume is that same white Prime. At one point today, there was a Gen 4 two lanes over followed immediately by a Gen 3 with my PiP almost next to them.

    If your near Grapevine next week, you might see a really nice new Blizzard Pearl with a paper tag from OK. :D

    We have lots of Prii in various Gens here, but I only know of two in the OKC area and one in Lawton.

    On my second day of EV only prowling, I've caught myself driving by glass sided buildings just to see my own profile. I've got it bad. The GPS made me do it.:p:D

    Oh no! (Alliteration warning.) You have been Prius Prime Preening. That's not a good sign. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    I work from home, but occasionally go into the office for real human contact. So I pull into the charging station area at my office in the SF Bay area a couple of days ago, and discover an almost-identical twin to my car in the immediately adjacent spot. Same color, except Premium rather than Advanced (distinguished by Blind Side Monitor on side rear view mirrors).

    A buddy wanted me to drive with him to Missoula, Montana with a 16 ft trailer behind to keep him awake. It was a 1200 mile one way quick turn around, then back home. Left at 10pm Monday night and got back 2am last night (Thurs). We drove up I29 and hooked up with I90. I kept an eye out for a Prime the whole way and was disappointed that I saw none.

    Saw my second (maybe third?) Prime today in Mason Ohio. Blue. Must say, the Blue looked better in person than in photographs. Darker than I thought. Perhaps it was the lighting: a cloud was overhead so the color wasn't washed out. Anyway, much more pretty than I had thought.

    The first Prime I saw about a week ago I thought was silver, but then the next day I saw another Prime that was definitely Titanium. So now I am wondering if the "silver" one I saw was actually Titanium. My Prime, which is Titanium, can look silver under certain lighting conditions.

    Anyway, it is interesting to see some Primes out there in the asphalt jungle.

    Just saw my first one in San Diego County, CA the other day. Only recognized it after it passed me on the freeway and I saw the curved rear deck piece. Then I noticed the LED rear turn signals as it signaled a lane change. Like the backside for sure. It was a nice gray color.

    I saw an iMiEV a couple days ago. First one I saw on the road. Actually passed me on the highway.
    Just sharing because I was excited about it, and it might make people who haven't seen a Prime yet feel better about it.

    Saw my 2nd Prime in Hypersonic Red. Of course it's a US car.

    I saw one in Plano Texas. It was the first one I've seen and they were from Massachusetts!

    Just returned from 2 days in downtown Boston, and 7 days covering Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine and I saw zero Primes. We saw a lot of 2nd and 3rd Gens, but nothing new or Primes. There were a gazillion Camry cabs, but none were hybrids.
