2008 Spectra Blue color offered

inventor00 · 08-21-2007, 01:17 PM

According to my dealer they will be offering the bright dark blue also called Specta Blue that is offered in Japan and also on other Toyota cars for the 2008 Prius. Estimated to come out late Sept early October in my area. They will keep the Seaside Pearl also- so 2 blues now.

If you want a "preview" of Spectra Blue Mica, just look at the 00-05 Celica and 01-05 RAV4s. The blues on those vehicles are Spectra Blue Mica.

Forgive me for being skeptical about this latest "news", all information about the 2008s so far indicated that there would not be any color changes. I would also wonder about the likelihood of there being two blue models.

I think it looks like the Subaru World Rally Blue and the Mitsubishi Electric Blue, a bit too "boy racer" for me; I find the Seaside Blue to be a much more mature color and would choose it over this new blue.

Doesn't matter if the info is genuine or not...RED is still the best color!!!!

Ooooooo.

I am so tempted to get the new 2009 redesign now. I'll bet the dark blue will still be available on the 2009.

I'd have to switch out my BTplate and remove my newly installed EBH and put it on the new car.

But I am so tempted.

My dream Prius....dark blue with a gray interior.

I could finally get the side signal mirrors I've been coveting and have them installed too!

Oooooo. Ooooooo.

It might be worth giving up two years of HOV access.
