I have seen 3 magnetic, 2 silver and 1 opal since I got mine in May. The easiet way to spot one is the antenna on the roof or the turn indicators on the mirror caps. This is in Chicago.

In Southern California, they are abundant. Oddly, I see more HC Hybrid II's than I see standard 2006 Civic non-hybrids. Silver is the most popular here. Just yesterday on the drive home there wss one silver HCHII following a white HCHI with a white Honda Civic GX (natural gas vehicle) following them on the 105 freeway. I was a little farther behind in our white HCHII, so it must of looked like an alternative fuel get together!

I've only seen other HCH II here in ATL in the 4 months that I've owned mine.

The color was a neutral cream color that was very similar to the stock cloth interior color.

I just received a call from a dealer in Long Beach that has leather installed into the HCH-II as a standard feature and charges about $1,500 "extra" for it. I'd prefer fabric, though, over leather.

Thanks,

We live in the north east / decatur area of atlanta and drive 400 mon-fri. See 2 to 3 HCH IIs a day.

We took our HCH II to Manhattan today and saw no other HCH II's.

I guess Blinkard was out of town hee hee

Here in Northern Virginia, I see 1 or 2 HCH2s and MANY others (mostly Prius') every day.

Rav, we might have peeped the same car, then. I also saw it on 270W just past Cleveland, somewhere in the 845-9pm timespan.

As usual when I join a certain group I start to notice its elements more. Like when I was working at the newspaper I became very critical of other newspapers. Now I work for an advertising agency and I am always inspecting other people's ads.

When we got our Civic Hybrid I suddenly started noticing all the other hybrids on the road. In less than a month I saw 10 to 15 different Priuses (Priusi?), a couple Accord Hybrids, both older and newer models, a smattering of HCHs and a handful of HCH2s. This is all taking place in central Arkansas, around Little Rock.
