Any love for Winter Gray?

synapse · 05-21-2009, 01:40 PM

I'm getting a winter gray with misty gray interior. Like Wooski, I really liked how it looked at the Toyota Neighborhood event!

Winter Gray was one of the choices that allowed light gray interior. I was a huge fan of the Magnetic Gray in the Gen II, and was somewhat disappointed that the Winter Grey appeared so muted in comparison. It doesn't have the luster or pop of Blue Ribbon or Blizzard Pearl.

I found these online, but I can't recall where. I hope it's okay to post them here.

I can't find the originally posted Neighbourhood pics but:

This is the video (with lots of coverage of the Winter Grey):

These are a few grey pics I have collected:

I am a fan. Of course, my Spectra Blue will be winter gray starting in November anyway

I love the look of the dark greys -- however, one thing to keep in mind: "stealth" can be a safety issue. I had a dark grey Mitsibushi Galant. I was hit from the rear while standing at a traffic light by someone who just didn't see me! (Luckily, I wasn't injured, but it cause over $3K worth of damage on a 6-month old car.) On several other occasions, cars would veer over into my lane or back up, nearly hitting me. Apparently, they just didn't see me. The grey blends with the tarmac. I couldn't see my hood!

My father was a Fleet Engineer before he retired and used to do massive amounts of mileage each year visiting all the depots he was responsible for. He always had white cars because he thought they were far more visable in low light and so safer. Makes alot of sense.
