Hybrid Owner - not yet
I technically am not a hybrid owner yet, but am getting very excited waiting for it to get here. My dealer told me it would be about 10 days. I found out the ship just got to California (I am in Arizona) so it sounds like his estimate is going to be pretty close.
Since I have no vehicle yet, I have been searching the web for hybrid info and articles and stumbled across this site. Lots of good info and a nice resource for new hybrid owners like myself.

Welcome aboard. What color? Nav? Etc.
We have a good group here in AZ. We just had a meetup in January. Drop by anytime and let us know when your car comes in.

Yay for the HCH!! Welcome to the forum, and I hope you find information here that will help you achieve the mpg you want. Living in Arizona is an advantage- I'm driving in snow in Illinois and the cold really takes a bite out of fuel efficiency. Congratulations on the new car! Keep in mind- the way you drive is practically as important as what you're driving. Your driving style can have a huge impact on your mpg. It's fine to just buy the hybrid and rest on your laurels because driving it around normally you'll get decent mpg- but you can do a lot better if you try! Use this forum to pick up tips, and good luck!

Dealer called and it will be a few days more than he told me. It will either be this weekend or on Monday. He is throwing in window tinting so I guess its ok. It is definitely in the US and Arizona bound on the train.
I guess I should be lucky that its only going to be a couple of weeks of waiting and not months like some have had to wait.
I have all of my XM stuff and am planning how to install it, but it is kind of hard when the vehicle is not here.

No, I am not doing the connection to the head unit. I am just hardwiring a Roady XT ($20) and hiding all of the wiring. Hopefully, I can find a place to put it which looks ok and doesn't stick out too much.
I don't want to pay for the Honda install and don't want to rip out the dash of my new car yet. I have an XM direct which I will be taking out of my CRV and hope that they make an adapter for Honda soon so I can attach that and not have to buy the Honda kit.
