    You got to meet Erica? Really?!?!

    Darn. That was the thing we missed out on in Detroit.

    Sounds like you all had way too much fun. :thumb:

    I finally got to meet Erica at Prius Connection San Francisco, when I was still living in the Bay Area. It was one of the only two (?) events where Toyota let us drive the 2010 Priuses before they were shipping. :thumb:

    I'll definitely have to check out this week's podcast.

    Here's a shot of Erica (and my better half signing in) for Rae Vynn and others ... so when others finally get to meet her, you'll know who it is :)

    The vehicles we drove were only demo program models so it is unknown when exactly the production models will be available. Speculation has been leaning towards the 2012 model year but we'll have to wait and see. The big thing for me will be hearing what the final price will be...
