A client told me about this forum and after reading it I am impressed with the knowledge and information provided by most of the membership. I work for a Toyota dealership as a Fleet Sales Manager and while I don't own a hybrid (I drive company cars) have a quite a bit of experience with them. I am in the Houston Texas area and yes we do get our Prius from Gulf States. If I can help with some of your Prius questions in particular avability in the Texas, Louisana area just PM me. And yes this forum has taught me a few things about the Gen III Prius as well.
