^^ My exact point!! There were a few on here that wanted a Grecian Water as their preferred color but had to get something else. One got white and the other got USB (that I know of)

There were 6 MY22s in Grecian and two of those were corporate cars (likely not in circulation). The next most rare MY22 color was USB 2.0 with 39 cars (3 corporate). Again, these are US figures only.

Holy crap! I’m screen-shotting this. On one end, it dashes my dream of a Blue Fleet dominating the roadways; but on the other, it’s a super cool stat!

Glad I didn't hold out on GW and went with UW- otherwise it looks like I might not have had a car!

Better keep your V8 as cars will be EVs in the near future and I don’t want to drive an appliance!

you better keep the gas powered cars period. There is no way our electrical grid is going to charge all of these electric vehicles.

Right!! Obviously we all knew the car was exclusive, but actual numbers seems to illicit a ‘whoa!’ reaction.

Funny thing, the Southern Lexus car group I’m a member of has FOUR IS 500s in its ranks. How’d that happen?!

Yeah…no thanks. I’ve said here many times, I’m keeping this car until gas is outlawed or cars start flying. I want to bypass all things turbo and EV if I can help it.

I think in part Toyota agrees. Instead of declaring all cars will be EVs by some rando year, they’ve equally leaned into both the hybrid and EV markets. I think they see a continuation of the ICE era for quite sometime.

I would try and delete/edit your post as we are not allowed to discuss politics per say here - I was just making a general statement and not being political per se
