Calling All Future 2010 Prius Owners! :-)

[PriusCrazy]

My first Prius too... heck, my first new car in 20 years!

Package IV, Classic Silver Metallic, Misty Gray leather interior

$25,800 (thanks Toyota, this is outstanding!)

Was originally considering the solar roof package but at $3,600, I'm glad I convinced myself it isn't a must-have.

This will be my first Prius

I am opting for the Prius IV w/ Solar Moonroof in Blue Ribbon Metallic

But I have to sell my motorcycle first and I'm having problems doing so

This will be Prius #3 for us. We have a 2002 that we bought in Nov of 2001 and I drove until the 2004 was purchased in Oct of 2003. The 2004 was purcahsed on a Pioneer deal in Oct 2003 and was one of the first few to hit US shores (VIN ends in 09090). At that point, my wife inherited the 2002.

Now with baby #3 here (unexpected but welcome surprise), the 2002 back seat is a bit cramped w/ 3 kids. Thus, the 2002, with only 54k miles, will be sold/traded for the 2010. Despite the mileage, it's getting to the age where the little things are starting to go wrong due to time. She'll be getting the 2004 with it's larger seat and I'll get the 2010. As she only drives around town, it will be a nice "retirement" of sorts for the 2004, which has 113,000+ miles on it.

The next new car will be a hybrid minivan of some sort and the 2004 will be sold/traded for that. The will go straight to the Mrs. In fact, she saw the Hybrid Estima that "appeared" at the LA Prius event and was instantly in love.

The 2010 will be package IV w/ moonroof - Blizzard Pearl, Misty Gray leather. As I stated on YouTube, in Phoenix, the solar roof is a "must" as the temps are climbing. I'm already Jonesing for it when I get into the hot 2004 after parking outside all day, even w/ windows cracked and solar shade up. Despite "wanting" Package V, once I found out I couldn't mix Advanced Tech w/ solar (or w/ Package V for that matter), I knew I'd have to choose. I started off ordering Blue Ribbon Metallic w/ Dark Gray interior, but soon reconsidered the heat, and saw a Camry in Blue Ribbon Metallic that appeared quite dirty w/ a little dust and had very obvious swirl marks. The Blizzard Pearl, despite the price premium, just made more sense from a temperature and "keep it clean" perspective.

In addition to being our third Prius, I've indirectly sold my parents on one (they're considering a 2010 as well), and my aunt/uncle on one. I even had a co-worker from out of town take a ride in mine, then subsequently went home and bought a fully loaded '08. I hope to "convert" many more w/ the 2010 ;-)

Blizzard Pearl package V with dark gray leather and Tech. package.

I'm surprised by how many people on this board are getting the moonroof package. $3600 seems awfully high for nav, a moonroof, and a solar-powered fan (seems quite gimmicky to me).

Then again, I may pay an additional $1500 (V versus IV) just to get some bigger wheels and LED headlamps, so to each his own.

This will be my first prius and also my very first brand-spankin' new car!!! So I am extremely excited. Last November I put a deposit on a 2009 touring, but when I saw the reveal for the 2010 I had my dealer place me on the list for that instead.

I'll be getting a IV w/ the solar package. Grey Interior, Black Exterior. I can't wait!!!

Mine didn't sell on eBay but it's on NJ.com and Craigslist, signs all over the place. Been trying to sell it for weeks now. :/

Just got on the waiting list for a package II. This will be my first new car, and first hybrid so I can't wait. It will be awesome going from 20 MPG city in my current car to 50+ in the Prius.

As for colors, I'm still undecided. I'm leaning toward Blue Ribbon, but like HTMLSpinnr mentioned it doesn't look great when slightly dirty. (At least on my co-workers Camry Hybrid)

Package 3 for me.
