Again though, you have to make what will sell. For the type of buyer that purchases a Prius (fairly conservative) you just aren't going to sell pink, yellow, or purple cars and forget about two tone pink/grey. Think about what cars have colors like that, not many and they're typically much showier and sportier cars than the Prius.

I feel that the 2006 colors are quite uninspired. I would love a beautiful deep emerald or a forest green (British Racing Green) or even a deep pewter/silver instead of the ultra-lite non-silver we have now. This year's colors are too light and seem so "safe".

The Barcelona Red isn't bad, but I don't like the way it looks from the rear. There is too much contrast between the the red and the bright white lights and the dark hatch window under the spoiler.

I can't get into the silver pine mica at all. It's "different", but it's not something I would want to look at day after day.

The seaside pearl to me is just a really dull color. There are so many beautiful blues out there, from ultramarine to aquamarine. Who came up with this one?

 

Well I went absolutely crazy nutso and got silver.
Happened to be the only Prius on the lot - but that was coincidence. B)

I don't get the idea of going in and ordering a car and waiting 8 or 12 weeks for it to be delivered.
From the moment I decided I needed a Prius to when I drove home with it was less than 24 hours.
