    Thanks for the tip. On the same USA webpage there is an article about a crashed Volt. Anybody care to comment about the Volt's fake chrome grill made of 10 or more pieces that fell apart during the crash? Why does GM think that all cars must have a huge chrome grill even if it is fake?

    Nope! Went back to the page after downloading it and checked the stats, it says the amount of CO2 saved is based on 9715 miles! Also double checked the year to ensure I did not transpose a number and entered 2001 instead of 2010, but that was correct too. I'm almost reluctant to actually put this on my Prius now, folks will think it's a really high mileage car! :eek:

    Wouldn't you want them to think it's a really high mileage car? Help further some misconceptions around the Prius. Although, I highly doubt non owners would have a clue what it meant lol.

    Anyone with like 200k/300k miles request one yet?? Would there be no white on it? :unsure:

    You could go to the website, specify 300k miles, and see what you would get.

    I kinda wish they let us do combined mileage for all Prius owned. The badge I generated (but didn't ship) for the 2004 was far more interesting than the badge for the 2010. I'll attach both in an edit since they're saved on my work laptop.

    Ask for Jessica. She is head of customer service. Tell her Deby snell sent you via Priuschat. I told her someone needs to check out this forum. They are the largest dealer in our area.

    Yeah, something's a little goofy with their description or their algorithm. They say the thickness of the line depends on the age of the car, but in their example badges, they have two 2010's, one with very thin lines, one with thick lines. They also have a 2005, it has a lot more lines, but they all appear thinner than the thick 2010.

    But I got my badge anyway. I just downloaded it, I didn't see where to mail the physical version to me, but that's okay. [edit - nevermind, I see that link now]

    no. each one would be slightly different even if they had identical (how likely is that?) stats

    I did mine with the combined mileage of the 2 I've owned, and added the 3rd I'm going to go pick up in the next week or so. This is really cool, thanks for the post :)

    Where do you think it will be a good place to display the badge?

    Also, if you are driving your second Prius, should you use the total milage for both your Prii rather than just your milage for the Prius that you currently own?

    Any thoughts?

    My conformation says that my CUSTOM BADGE will be delivered in 6-8 weeks. I really hope I made first 1000 people.
