    I saw my my first Gen 5 (of any kind) on Saturday, ironically just after I left the Toyota dealer in Niagara where I am getting mine this summer. :cool: It was also Grey, non-Prime.

    My wife has seen two new Prius so far (in addition to one on Saturday when we were together), there is Grey one near her office she has seen a couple times, and she told me she also saw a Blue one in our town, she wasn’t sure if they were Primes or not.

    I saw a white one 3 days ago in Tulsa, OK. The pictures don't do it justice. It is really a nice-looking car.

    I’m honestly surprised I’ve even seen one given how few are out there and how little I drive.

    Saw a white one on the road for the first time while driving my PIP. I waved and she ignored me. :D

    Lol, I think the Prius Wave went out of style years ago, especially with Gen 5s appealing to prior former Prius-haters, and have no ideas of our legacy. :D

    I wanted Cutting Edge or Wind Chill Pearl. Initially Cutting Edge was my first choice, but I was willing to take either. My dealer called and said they had a Wind Chill Pearl. When I picked it up they had a Cutting Edge at the dealer that somebody else was getting. After seeing both in person I thought the Wind Chill Pearl was much nicer.

    A few weeks ago I saw a white Prius that also happened to be a Prime for the first time. Looking back, I think it was a foreshadow for me getting my grubby hands on.... A white Prius Prime.

    Wind chill pearl SE viewed today.

    A bit Corolla- ish as seen from head on (as others have noted). Like the door stop profile, and am indifferent to the funky wheels.

    Yeah, wouldn't kick it out of the driveway in the middle of the night.
