Make that "all over California"...not just LA. Other than SUVs and big pickups, it's unusual to see a full sized car here. I live half way up a rural valley with a single road wandering up its middle, with driveways and small tertiary roads leading off it, so going to and from town I see every car on the road. It seems like half of the cars are Prii, TDi's or Metros (plus lots of pickups...this is still commercial farming (vineyards and nut orchards) and ranching country).

In fact, within the past couple of months two of my immediate neighbors have added Prii to their driveways. The cars are very popular in Cali.
