Magnetic Gray is here....

cad2112 · 04-30-2006, 01:32 AM

I ordered my Prius on April 10. I got the call from the dealer yesterday at 4:40 PM. Picked up my car and was on the road by 6PM. Only 7 miles on it.

So far I'd give this car two thumbs up. It drives nice, is comfortable, and great MPG. The Magnetic Gray color is much nicer then I expected. I'd say the car is well worth $24k. Factor in the tax credit and you can't pass it up if you're considering one. Hat's off to Toyota for making such a nice vehicle.

Congrats!!! I'm just amazed at how some people wait months and others get their cars in a few short weeks. But it worked out well for you so enjoy! Now get out there and start reviewing the posts for some really good information about the Prius.

Have fun!

Here are a couple of pics of the new Magnetic Gray Prius. Enjoy!

It's gorgeous, but it's funny how the same color will look different on different vehicles.

When the magnetic gray came out on the '06 (or '05) Camry, I thought it was blah. But it looks great on the '07 Camry and on the Prius. I also don't think that the Silver Pine Mica looks very good on the Sienna, but it looks nice on the Prius (which I have) and on the Highlander. It also (to me) looks darker on the Sienna. Go figure.

It IS a different colour. Magnetic Grey is new for this year. Last year's Camry came with Phantom Grey Pearl which is a bit browner (see the other thread with a Magnetic Grey Prius. You can see a Camry LE parked next to it in Phantom Grey Pearl)

Just saw MG on the freeway a few minutes ago.. hopped onto priuschat and low and behold...

Wanted to say it looks really really good... has a big metallic flake in the paint that makes it sparkle and shine!

There's the best looking Prius color right there, other than black. Very nice.
