    Yesterday Gary and I saw a Blue Streak with Illinois plates. It turned off the highway (IL37) about 5 miles from our home. It was pretty exciting to see a Prius c on the road instead of on a car lot.

    For the second time I got to park next to another C - this time a black one. I said "nice car" to the driver, but until I pointed out my car she didn't realize it was a C. Considering it was 96 in the shade, neither of us stuck around to chat/broil in the parking lot.

    I was in Hawaii (Oahu) last week and spotted 3 Prius c's while there:
    Habanero orange at Sunset Beach
    A white on Kalakaua ave and
    A Magnetic Grey on the highway

    Saw my second Prius C today on the Garden State Parkway. Looks like it was a C2 because he was using an windshield mounted GPS unit. Color was Summer Rain Metallic

    What's most interesting is that he was going 90+ in it. I was really having to push my 04 Scion Xb to catch up to him and get a closer look. Oddly enough I was expecting a door or side panel to break off at those speeds like a spaceship entering the atmosphere. But it didn't so I guess I'm going to be very happy with it when I get my C3 next week (fingers crossed)

    I've seen a bunch of grey ones around here (seriously, I see them ALL the time) and a couple of months ago I saw white. The only other colors I've seen are mine and the habanero one I saw at the dealership.

    I saw a metallic blue streak like mine in Northampton, Ma and a habanero with the protective shipping plastic still on it heading west on I90 outside of Boston

    I don't think I have seen one in Dallas/Ft Worth yet and definitely not a habanero one!

    An older couple on the street parallel to mine recently bought silver PC. They live on a big street, and we drive by them almost every day, so before my husband and I got ours, we would drive by their house and admire how gorgeous Prius C is. Also, last week, I saw dark blue one in a swimming pool parking lot and then white one just as we were leaving the pool. I am so happy to see how many people are buying hybrids!

    Interstate 69, southbound, at the Mi/In state line. Was a rain mist blue. This was Monday, 8-27-12 @ about 5-6 pm. Only one I spotted from Dexter, Mo. to Romeo, Mi.

    I've still yet to see another in the wild here (although Dad claims he saw one in his street the day after I showed him mine, yeah not entirely sure about that :cautious:).

    I did come across this video on YouTube of a Prius c club event in Taiwan though, which may interest some of you (I thought it was pretty cool!).

    I live in Orlando and have only seen 1. It was orange and I spotted it at the convention center.
