Default Seen other HS's on the road yet?

So until yesterday, I have not seen another HS out in public. Finally saw one in a parking lot - Matador red like mine :-) Felt kind of weird to finally see another one. Didn't quite realize how tall this car is.

So how many other HS's have you seen on the road yet?

I've seen about 4 occurrences of them on the road in MD. When I test drove one a few months back, the dealer had a few on the lot but every one was pre-sold.

im quite pleased to see more HS's on the roads, especially the freeways (210, 10). i know the HS didnt enter the market in the best of times, considering how poorly the economy was at that point, but there is a pretty sizable market for those who want luxury and to decrease their carbon footprints on the environment.

About 5 in greater Phoenix area since January. Having said this I'm sure now I'll see lots more!

I've seen a few in Atlanta. Had a black/black premium following me around in my black/black 450h.

Hey, I just saw my second HS - a white one. It was wearing nice 5-spoke wheels that looked stock - are those the 17" on the base model? I searched the Lexus website and couldn't find any info on alternate wheels, nor any pics of anything but Premiums with the 7-spoke 18's.
