    Hi everyone. I just purchased my '08 Prius (pkg #4) last Thursday. I'm still waiting for the car but should have it this week or next. I've been looking around the forum for a few days and thanks to info on here have already started calling around about the 3m paint protection and learned how to turn off the annoying reverse beeping. Thanks! - Jason

    I got the black with the tan interior. I was hoping to get the Touring model with the gray interior, but apparently they are very difficult to get in my area.

    I ordered the Touring but I think you are right, there aren't a lot of Tourings out there for sale right now.

    Picked up my Prius last night! On my first trip to work (45.2 miles) I averaged 51.9 mpg! I'm loving this!

    Thanks! I'll try to take some pics tonight if I get a chance. I already ordered and received the mud flaps from this PCShop, but haven't had a chance to put them on yet. Maybe this weekend.
