    I'd of swore Toyota was nuts ... thinking they'd move so many of the Gen III's back when they 1st anounced their plan to sell 100K of 'em in a week economy. They did a good thing.

    "Dealers are still selling mostly the second-generation Prius"

    The GenII are selling like hot cakes. I'm seeing them everywhere.

    In the past week, they almost seem as common as Honda Civics.
    (based on the exact roads I've been driving on, your observation may vary)
