    I guess I used too much telephoto. Since you pointed out it looked raised in front, I then noticed that the front wheel looks larger than the back wheel, which I hope it isn't. Guess I should use a wider angle setting to reduct that distortion.

    The front of the car does look too high (the gap between the front tire and wheel well is larger than the rear, and it should be consistent). Does it look like that in person?

    I've heard of cases in the past (with other car brands) where the PDI tech forgot to remove the transportation wedges from the suspension. Most manufacturers use them, and there's one on each corner. They are installed at the factory, raise the car slightly (to provide some additional clearance for going up and down loading ramps), and limit suspension compression (to avoid stress on the shocks while tied down on the boat/train/car carrier). It could be they removed the rears but forgot the fronts.

    Try looking at the front springs and see if there are any large rubber wedges inserted in them.

    Hadn't thought about the power outlet in the center console for my I Pod touch. Your picture is living proof. Standing by for my first Prius expected in July here in DC.

    Just checked my photo folder on the website.

    I have officially published 1701 Prius photos.

    That's quite an amazing coincidence!

    Perfect timing to get my 2010.

    Nice pics, thanks for sharing....Love the pearl white.....

    I can't believe I love the looks of a "Prius" lol. I'm thinking black, black pearl emblems, dropped with the Modellista kit.....hmmmmm 50 MPG to boot

    What is not to love???

    There are two power outlets in the center console-- one is on the lower "shelf". I can charge my iPhone in there and it's hooked up to the Navigation system by bluetooth for hands-free calling. Then inside the console, there's a power outlet and auxiliary jack. I bought a dedicated Nano that's the "brains" of my car stereo. It's always charging and always available to play. I only need to take it out if I want to change its playlists.

    That's another thing. I love how well integrated all of this technology has become!

    Nice! Thanks for posting. I don't think we have any in Florida yet - still waiting for the dealer to call me when they get their allocation. Loved the photo with the green Nano. Tell me... if you needed to touch the Nano, do you have to open that compartment or can the Nano be out while it is being used?

    I vote for blizzard white. Black is really hard to keep clean. I love the white after seeing it. Love the blue but love the white

    I was really leaning Blizzard Pearl, then saw the sweet chrome aftermarket stuff one can get and am now leaning Black again. I really do like the Blizzard Pearl, but I also don't want to have the most popular color out there either.

    Thanks for the input!

    Yeah but if it's popular elsewhere in the country but not in your area, that'll still work, right?
