    All of us Gen II owners from 2004 will be looking back nostalgicly saying, "remember when your MFD froze up for the 1st time?" ... just as soon as we start hearing about the Gen III glitches. Maybe I can be the 1st to report on THAT ... since I missed being the 1st to have the Gen III.

    Absolutely beautiful! I think I'd rather have the blue ribbon over the black now. And that sunroof... I can afford it right? :D

    Wow Julie...congrats...can only imagine being #1!

    Pic #2 tells me you need a car wash aready...kickin' up some dust in the new ride? 2010 looks so much sportier and more mainstream than Gen II.

    Obviously, she's enjoying her car and have no time for us and our pathetic questions !!!

    I guess I would do exactly the same.

    Hey Winebuff, If you really want to try your car, why don't you come here in Quebec and let me take a look at it !

    Enjoy your nice Prius and have fun,

    Still have 32 days to go before seeing mine !:pout:

    The ride home was great. It is a very solid car, feels alot sturdier. I passed a Prius and got a funny look.

    The manual does some with a cd but havent had time to watch it. It really is an awesome car, different from the last ones in that it feels a heck of alot more luxurious and solid.

    So I was right - those YouTube videos are probably part of an owner's manual? :-D

    I am soo jealous! I love the 2010 Prius!

    I've been talking to everyone about the car and even have a few of them ready to check them out at the dealerships. I'll live vicariously through them.... lol

    It really is nice. The biggest difference is feeling like it is now a luxury car. It is solid and bigger, putting it in the luxury category as far as I see.

    There is a triangle sticker painted the same color as the car on each back passenger door on the bottom. I am thinking it is to prevent scratches or extra protection when you open a door. The only thing you can see the white edge on the sticker so not sure if that is right or whether the port forgot to remve these before release. Anyone know?

    Congrats Julie

    What color is your interior? From the one photo it looks like the misty grey

    Julie, I was wondering if last night you sleep in the drivers seat or did you put the rear seats down and lounge out. :D

    No really how comfortable are the seats and leather quality ? Also are the seat and steering wheel adjustments good ?

    Julie, are my eyes deceiving me or did does the text in the last picture say "May 17, 2007?" You went back in time with your Prius!
