Other than tC's coming in for service and the ones I have sold I have only seen 1 on the road!! Still pretty unique around here.

tC's are all over in LA (I saw four in two days-all different colors)
down here in San Diego they're slowing coming around, unless I just don't get outside much. xB's are everywhere.
Still waiting on mine (ordered 30OCT), AP/5spd/SAB

Here in northern VA they i haven't seen that many tC's... i think 3. 2 white and 1 black. they all looked bone stock and all old people. Now the xB is another story. I think those things are starting to out-number civics! i see them on every road, on every street corner, in every parking lot. Its lost its novelty to me. and again... weird old people driving them. I've seen a few xA's here and there. I have a tough time distinguishing them from a matrix at a glance. Anyway, i hope the tC stays somewhat rare... i know that's prolly wishful thinking but i'll keep my fingers crossed. All ya'll that are just getting yours: "show 'em off while ya can"

I've seen tCs on the road, in all the colors too. Yes, even Azure Pearl. xBs? They're everywhere. It's like this:

I get on the freeway - xB sighted!
I change one lane - another xB!
I change into the fast lane - yet another xB !
I'm stuck in traffic - right behind another xB!

Why does everyone say the Azure Pearl is ___? It's the most unique color in the line. Really awesome in the sunlight.

That's because most people who say that have not seen it in person--it's very very striking in the sunlight, and does not look feminine at all. The scion website does not do it justice.

ever since ive looked for tC's ive seen maybe 8 ... since like July ... a few recently ... wanna talk to the people but sometimes its awkward ... the car is still very rare and Scion plans to keep it that way for a while .... the dont want it to turn into another Civic ... ya can throw a rock and it would land on a civic's windshield .. its cool to be original i say ... people ask me what my car is alot .. i like that ... seen a few xA's and xB's ... but they are becoming more common ... tC's are where its at ...

I was at school and i saw 2 flint mica's parked on the same block...that was a sad sad day :-( But then just on Monday I parked on the same block as another flint mica also by school. What's with flint mica tc's and people who go to SFSU? I definately think we should have a cut-off date. I got mine July 12th.

The first tC I've ever seen was Azure Pearl. It was sitting in the middle of a 2 lane street while it's owner was either dropping someone off or talking to someone. I mistaked it for something else ofcourse. Now more recently, I've seen about 2 flint mica's and a black cherry pearl.

I've seen a ton of xB's. And I've sen about and xA or 2.

I drive 80 miles round trip up a major high way to work every day between two of the largest cities in my state, and I have yet to see another tC ever!

I just saw my first tC on the road aside of mine, was at the Best Buy in Germantown, MD and a cute young asian girl was driving and it looked like maybe her dad was in the passenger seat, was backing out of a really well lit parking space, azure pearl looks really really good, but I love my Flint Mica - my girlfriend's dead set on getting an Azure Pearl if she gets a car, a tC for that matter, but if not she still wants that color, she said it was awesome

I thought it was a really good looking color, but sky blue is a little too light for my taste.

btw I see tons of xB's and only a few xA's and that was my first tC I've seen, had my tC since Nov. 10th and I've been keeping an eye out for other Scions

that's b/c you're commuting with other grownups on the road instead of parking at a high school/college.

j/k, I commute 50 miles a day and have seen *one* tC, was in town at 8 or 9pm at night, so wasn't even on the way to or from work. cute asian chick talking on her cell phone, doubt she even noticed me. regardless of the #s, think Scion's hitting their target demographic pretty well...

I saw two SSM's and two BSP's before I even got mine. Since then, I've seen two IIP's, three BSP's, three SSM's, and one SW.

BTW, I got mine Sept. 24

I've been seeing TC's roaming freely through the streets of DC, I have seen absolutely every color offered. I counted seeing 7 different tcs in the last 2 days alone. The unique time of the little car that not everyone knew about is truly coming to an end. Ah well my 2400 w rms sound system and 5.1 sound, and when turbo comes out, that all will distinguish mine from the rest.
