    Hey folks...meet Vader, my new GenIII 2012 liftback.

    After headache and swindling from local dealers I contacted Dianne via many of your glowing recommendations. What a help!

    Totally worth the 40 mile drive!

    I really appreciate her deals, posts and offers like these:
    Dianne's SoCal Prius Deals for March and April 2013 - liftbacks and v wagons and PHEVS! | PriusChat

    Simple, professional, quick, personal, and cost effective.

    I'd do that again, thrice!

    My co-worker is headed up Friday to buy another Gen III from Dianne and her team.

    Kudos!

    Very nice. Some window tint and smoked light covers and you'll be all stealthed out.

    Enjoy the new ride. I know I do.

    Hope the seats are comfortable, because I hear that there might be some questions raised about their design. [​IMG]

    No covers. Custom leather by Katskin. Customers request.

    I think it'll add nice lines and accentuate the mid-line edge on the car. had mine double pinstriped right above the fold along the doors and it looks pretty sharp

    I looked on the Katskin website. Seats look great but $2200 for all the seats. Did you get a better deal? I liked the leather and lumbar on the Four but heard the Softex wasn't that great. These seat covers look really nice, real leather. Enjoy!

    I got a much better deal. I paid $0 extra for the leather. =)
