I only see red A3's.  I've seen a few e90's but like it's been said, not as big a hit as the e46 in these parts.  I see more of the new 5 than the new 3.

Employee pricing did work.  :rofl:  I haven't seen one new Passat yet and no Lexus IS either.  I also haven't seen any new GS's kicking around.  I also see very little of the new RL's.  I'd like to see the Fusion...and the G6 coupe.

What surprised me is that I have not seen more A3's around, but I have seen lots of the new 3 Series and even a couple of HHR's. Have not noticed any Civics yet other than at dealer and come to think of it I have not seen too many Ridgeline's and even my nearby dealer has none out front.

This week is the SEMA show in Vegas so we can expect to see some new 'exotics' to tease us.

Have seen the most A3's.  Only a couple of Passats - actually, maybe only one on the road.   A few civic sedans, and there is a new civic coupe that lives down the street from me - that family flips cars pretty frequently it seems.  It's black and looks very nice without the spoiler.  I have been very tempted to "downgrade" for a new civic coupe recently, until I realize that downgrading will still cost me money out of pocket!  (is my car really 5 years old?)

Seen all except the Ford GT on the road.

I've started seeing more A3's, which is nice. It's taken awhile to see them on the road, but they've started. The dark grey (when clean), green, blue, and white I love. Must admit, red is sharp too, just not for me.

Have seen quite a number of new Civic sedans on the road - base (black door handles) and uplevel. Haven't seen any coupes on the road yet.

Seen a few new Passats - maybe 8-10. Surprised at the number of base wheel-cover Jettas there are on the road.

Haven't yet seen the Fusion on the road, but of all it's perspectives it's the rear I like the least! Clear tail lamps look odd on it, and the shape of the trunk or bumper or something looks unfinished. Something about it. Overall it's nice tho, especially the front (side rear doors look a tad boxy), and a great effort for Ford priced right.

Only seen that one white IS in Toronto.
TONNES of new 3-Series - that damn grey I'm sick of.

This week alone I've noticed a few RL's (I've been in North Toronto more than usual), but even more noteworthy is that the M's and GS's are catching on with buyers more after years of those brands having mid-level-luxury sedans that you couldn't pay people to take.

Being from the east burbs of Toronto, can't miss the new GM products here. I think the HHR looks darned good, especially from rear and rear 3/4 views. Has a snarly exhaust too. The Cobalt SS's I still like, and similar to the BMW 3-Series, seeing the new Impalas all over. The G6 sedan I like the shape of, the coupe not so much. Solstices have hit the roads here and there.
