    I was happy with the turn out. There were a good number of people there and they seem fairly interested and had good questions. I also enjoyed the test drive because I had been meaning to test the HiHy and the new Venza so there's killing two birds with one stone so to speak. The 09 Prius (fully loaded) was also there but I couldn't really tell the difference between that and my Prius (other than the seats were firmer lol).

    Just a silver? Ouch.

    Test driving the other cars was interesting, and together we managed to educate the salespeople about the nav system and how regenerative braking works. Try as we might, we could not convince any of the ride-along staff to make a dash for Whistler. ;)

    haha oops =P.

    yeah the guy's explanation on regenerative braking was hilarious, esp. after correcting himself and saying that's how the Malibu's system works.

    We didn't test drive the 2010 but there were other Toyota vehicles for testing - Corolla CE, Matrix base, RAV4 Limited, Venza V6 Touring, Highlander Hybrid Limited and Prius Premium Package w/Navigation (aka Package "C")
