    Man I was just think about posting this same question. I live in Mid Michigan (about an hour and a half from the Motor City) and I can go a couple of days without seeing another Taco. Sometimes I think I am the only one in the capital city that has one. However when I went to visit my brother in law in Durham NC I saw one on every street corner. Even the Yoda dealer ship only has about 5 new and no used.

    I see them all over. A couple people I work with have them. I would say that I see at least 5-10 on my way to work and I only have a 15 minute drive to work.

    I live in Northridge, Los Angeles and see and average of 20 (literally-I have counted) a day. The majority of the ones I see are double cab prerunners but only a portion of those are TRD's.

    I probably see anywhere from 5-10, though I'm not really counting. Silver and White seem to be the most popular colors, with a scattering of the other colors.

    New Orleans is a popular city for Tacoma owners. I probably see about 20-30 on any given day. I'll keep track one day.

    I've never counted but see a lot of Tacos, more 1st Gen than 2nd and the majority of the Gen 2 ones I see are DC models. I rarely see a Gen 2 in regular-cab configuration like mine, however. Also see lots of older pre-Tacoma Toyota pickups. They are real popular around here.
