I was in Fells Point here in Baltimore having dinner and walking around with friends and saw 6 Prii, three classic grey one salsa red a black and a seaside pearl. They are allover the place! I think the recent gas price spike has pushed loads to this car! It would be interesting to know the sales figures compared to last year...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ystasino @ Jun 17 2007, 12:16 AM) [snapback]463325[/snapback]</div> I have not seen another Prius around here for days. The last one was early last week, parked. It WOULD be very interesting to know sales figures-
I usually see 2 or 3 others a day. Mine is the only black one I've seen. I alway see either white, or seaside pearl.
I see very very few. Maybe 1-2 a week. We do have one that lives in our same apartment complex. It is black standard. Ours is a black touring
Haven't seen any in several weeks. The last time I saw any Prii was when I went back to NC on vacation a few weeks ago, where they were all over the place. I would be very shocked to see one here in Benin anytime soon - or anywhere in West-Africa for that matter.
I saw eight of them yesterday walking to and from lunch (about a mile). I sometimes amuse myself by playing "count the Prii" as I walk along...

I lost count in Santa Fe NM Tuesday, but it may have been my first 100-Prius day. Dang I'll bet that Beaver Toyota sells a lot of cabin air filters
I see at least 10 a day driving to and from work, but I do a long city commute, which is why the prius rocks, and I guess I could be seeing the same 5 morning and night lol.
I typically see 2-3 per day in Toronto, where they are still somewhat rare, at least compared to the States. I was in Montreal earlier this week and saw a silver Prius taxi - very nice to see some other cities (or at least independent cabbies) following Vancouver's lead! B)
I tried counting all the Prii I saw one day on the way home from work. I think I got up to about 12 before I stopped keeping track. Gotta love the Bay Area!

The Mayor even drives one, which cracks me up since he went to it from a Ford Excursion. He still has almost hit me though :/ Seems like a nice guy but I'd rather not share a parking garage with him.
A year or so back I counted Prii on the way to work and stopped after getting past 25. Today for a couple miles there were 4 of us in a row cruising down the HOV lane. Edit: Today (06/29) I counted again and saw 48 on the way to work. I was only counting the current generation because I always get the older model confused with Echos.
Some days, I see a Hybrid Highlander on my way home... There is the one that lives a couple of blocks from us, but I rarely see any other Prii
Saw 4 today at O'Hare and 1 on the tollway. I was fascinated as I followed a green one around and around the Arrivals loop, waiting to pick up my son. I got to see it from the front, back and both sides. It was a joy to watch! And an even bigger thrill to know what an environmentally "kind" car it is. Unfortunately I wasn't driving mine at the time - in the shop for a failed auxiliary battery. I really missed her! She is now safe and sound, tucked in for the night in my garage. All is well!
