Of course, the SF Bay Area is its own special little bubble. Inferring nationwide vehicle choice based on the SF Bay would be like living in Boulder and assuming the rest of the nation is also Prius-crazed.

Hah! Before this I lived in Boulder and did indeed feel like everyone drove Priuses. (Although, my current office of 40 people has three people who drive Priuses of the same color… but point still taken.)

> It's amazingly popular in the SF Bay Area

That shows how many early adopters live in the SF Bay Area.

I don't think you can generalize it to Bay area.

I see them all the time on 101 as well.

So, near the Bay Area?

Yes, I believe general_failure meant, "you can't generalize 'near Google' to 'Bay Area'", so I elaborated to say that I've seen many in the Bay Area, not just near Google.

Ah, I totally misunderstood.

I saw one in Toronto!

There's 5 within two blocks of my house in Oakland.

Tons of them in Chicago as well

Really? I'm on the Blue Line down the Kennedy most mornings/evenings, often looking out at the gridlocked traffic, and have yet to see a single one.
