This sounds great, any chance it will be made? Have they made it for the gen II or I?

I stopped in again today at the WeatherTech® showroom in Downers Grove. Today's task was to figure out mat colors now that I have my car (and drive the new beast around a bit!). My '10 Prius is blue with the bisque interior. The rear deck is gray like all the other models, so the WeatherTech® light gray cargo mat looks best back there. No contest.

The problem for me is the front and rear floor mats. I took some ½ size samples out to the car. The bisque Prius carpet is off-white with both brownish and gray tones, so either the WeatherTech® beige or light gray mats look OK - but neither one is a slam-dunk best color match to that interior. I'm actually leaning towards gray for the back deck and then beige for the floors - kinda crazy.

I received my OEM cargo mat yesterday. It fits well and uses kind of an overlapping hinge where rubber protrusions on one piece fit into slots on the bottom of the other piece. The underfloor storage is reasonably easy to use although the mat does make it a bit more work. You have to lift the mat to turn the locks and grab the little cloth pull handle to lift the floor. When you put the floor back down, the mat sticks up in the two rear corners so you have to push them down with your hands. It will contain some amount of spilled liquid but probably not as much as the WeatherTech, judging by the WeatherTech pictures I've seen.

For those thinking about weight, the UPS label had the package listed at 14 pounds, which probably included the cardboard box. The mat is fairly think and hefty.

With the Weathertech mat, it appears that there is a lip around the perimeter. If so, about how high? And if so, might this be a problem if one were trying to slide in cargo with the rear seats down?

Thanks!

Thanks for mentioning the difference in color between the cargo area and the front interior.

I just picked up the second Prius in my life two days ago: red with bisque interior. I was sitting here looking for cargo mats and floor mats, and I assumed that because my interior was bisque, the cargo area would be too. Then I went out to the driveway and looked, and sure enough, it's gray!

Eagerly awaiting those 2010 Weathertech floor mats. Right now I have AutoZone cheapies in there, and they leave a lot of floor exposed.

This is my first PC post in about 3-4 years. Funny how having a new car makes you pay attention to the Internet communities again!

I still have the original paper mats from the dealer on the floors.

WeatherTech is supposed to call me when either new design are available. You can fill out a form on their website or call them to get on their notification list. Either way, I'm erasing my earlier browser cookies* and hitting their site every few days. They've probably got a lot of people to contact when they become orderable.

* WeatherTech has a problem with site cookies not updating, so if you select Toyota / 2010 / Prius on the front page, it might pull up outdated info on what accessories they have for your car.

Thanks. I'll lose my cookies, go to their site, and sign up for notification.

Called WT today to check in on the WT floor mats. Two months ago they told me it would be a couple months. Today they told me another two months before they'd be ready. Time for an alternative for many of us.

[DaveShepherd]

Got an email from WT today telling me the floor mats would be another "four to six weeks."

Wait a minute here. Are you telling me the mats are delayed? Why the heck would they take orders and not post this info anywhere? I just placed my order a few days ago and I was told it would be 5-10 days. Am I really going to have to wait 4-6 weeks?
