No , it was in some place called Starkey this morning.
I'm down to my last pip on the Prius' gas gauge, and I hope it comes tomorrow.

Pawed through one this weekend... Blue on tan, as pictured.
Nicer, well appointed interior, but had a 28K sticker on it...
Things I noted "new" in 2009...
- I love the new front bumper cover... much sportier looking. I'm actually considering getting one as a replacement.
- Rear chrome plated license plate bezel... i'll likely add that for $30 later
- Leather heated seats felt great. Not $3500 great though
- Didn't see blue tooth, but i added a well integrated Parrot3200 for $160... no question there.
- i'm glad they got rid of the all brown dash... black and tan looks so much better. I bet the black on blue looks even nicer.
- 3 point leather steering wheel was nice too... sporty. guess what? The $75 2008 EX-L leather steering wheel installs on 06-08 in 15 minutes.
- All civic have VSA, now they have the ability to disable it for what reason? I only turn it off on my TL to do burnouts...
That said, paying near $5K more for the ammenities added seems a bit... EXHORBITANT... but it's a step in the right direction. $2K more tops in value...

I hear ya... I kept my 06 TL for Sunday driving, but it's so rigged out (Supercharger, sport suspension, etc...), it's a toy car... and I'm too lazy to part it out.
I can't get passed a 28K civic. That's $2K more than i paid fro my TL 2 years ago... granted it has many of the same features the TL has (tehcnology wise)... Still not in the same league.
that, and when I bought my 08 HCHII with nav, I paid invoice... That made almost $5K price difference in the 09. Yikes... resale or not, $20 chrome trim, $120 bluetooth, $500 VSA system, and leather seats does not = $5000 price increase.

My inventory manager called the transport company and they told him sometime tomorrow 9/24, lets hope. (And that it arrives undamaged too)

no, Only two of my cars have had names, one I can't speak in public (related to the fact that every time I'd fill the tank it'd die) The other "Beast" a '98 Mazda MPV All-Sport.
Technically the Prius is called "recycled Prius". I'm curious to see if anything strikes my fancy and if it is something I can speak aka "Beast" or just plain descriptive aka "Recycled Prius" and the other car.

And the market for the TL's is not the best. Although I think it's an amazing car, with their terrible gas mileage in the city there just aren't a lot of people looking for them in my neck of the woods. It's a great time to buy one.
