    Many PC members will attend and gather information on all remaining burning questions about the plug-in, Share in PriusChat!

    Looks like Toyota has just sent out an email about this as well.

    Yeah. Oh well. From the roll call at http://priuschat.com/forums/local-c...expo-sf-bay-area-9-17-11-a-4.html#post1388197, it looks like all or almost all the PC mods will be there. From some FB updates, I think a few more mods will need to be added to that list.

    This is probably the closest thing so far to a PCD reunion. :)

    I got the note too. But MAN ... that's typically a 7 or 8 hour drive, at the slow poke hyper mile speed that I usually drive at.
    :(
    I also got a notice of the similar goings on locally just a few days ago ... but the notice came only 6 or 7 hours prior to when it started. Sheesh. What . . . . are they afraid someone's going to be able to plan to be there? C'mon Toyota ... how 'bout a few more day's notice!

    For those that will be attending: please take your cameras and ask lots of questions (maybe create a list of questions before you go. :D )

    For everyone: please post questions on this thread for those that are attending to ask.

    I'll start: Will the North American version and the European car just revealed at Frankfurt and on Toyota's website be identical? If not, what will be different?

    What if they have the Prius PHV prototypes to test drive?

    Then it wouldn't be much of a NA debut of the 2012 plug in would it?

    Enjoy guys, I guess if a plug in F-350 ever comes out then we might get a chance to see it here in Atlanta.
