Sandy Beach Metallic

This color looks WAY better on the 2010 than any gold prior.

It's a practical choice. It's light enough that if you live in a very hot climate (like me), the interior doesn't feel like it's blazing after sitting in a parking lot all day and scratches and dirt don't show up well at all. My wife picked driftwood when we bought our 2005, and her first choice is sandy beach for the '10 we're getting in a couple of months, but she's also interested in the winter grey if it isn't too dark.

Our Prius V. Sandy Beach Metallic arrived Friday. Been waiting since mid January, when we first saw them. Wish it'd gotten here sooner as our family is no longer in agreement on the purchase, as of this morning. As tempting as making a unilateral decision is, well, I know better. So if you're near the Flathead Valley MT, be my guest. I'm going to have to call the dealer in the morning.

Are you saying that other family members don't like the color you chose, or just don't like the car? That's a disappointment.

I own a 2007 silverpine with tan leather... and my previous Prius is tideland pearl (the old green/gray) .. I miss that color!

Maybe it's semantics. I also liked the tideland pearl but it wasn't one of the available colors when I got my 2006. I'd love to get a color like that.

Great video. I ordered a Sandy Beach Metallic in either II, III, or IV trims. My major worry is the Back seat big and comfy enough for my 90 yr old parents- and will it carry picnic stuff for 4 people. All the articles and sites never seem to show a person in the back seat. I did consider a Jetta TDI wagon- but the reliablity is a ?.

That is a total bummer. I just called Kalispell Toyota. I hope I didn't step on your toes.
