HI! Billy Mays here for Oxyclean!
Do you have a bisque interior on your Prius?! Well Oxyclean can clean up Dirt, Grime, Pet Poo, even red wine in just seconds!
No more worries about light Prius interiors with Oxyclean!
I'm Billy Mays and I talk in ALL CAPS all the time!

(oh too bad it edited the CAPS)

Thank you guys for the input ... the reason I ask is b/c it helps to see how others feel and have other input that one may not have thought of ...

There is one coming in Misty Gray that I could snag in a few weeks ... kind of irks me that it has the Remote Start as well though ... stickers at $30,838 b/c of it as well.

Can you post some pics of your car? Pretty please? Exterior and interior?

I totally agree!

For those that haven't seen in person, I think the Misty Gray is even lighter than the Bisque ... it will for sure show dirt more imho.

Dirt looks worse on Bisque than it does on Misty Gray.

IMO, Misty Gray is the only color to get if you can get it. It's infinitely better looking than the Bisque or Dark Gray because it's the only color with two-tone treatment. The monotone door panels of the Bisque and Dark Gray look pretty cheesey because, among other reasons, the cheap looking painted door handles and armrest trim end up being highlighted in a bad way.

I vote for Misty Grey. The lightness of the light grey door panels may not match with the light colour of Blizzard Pearl at first glance but the contrasting door inserts and centre console lid makes up for it. It also matches the headliner and cargo area better.

I agree that a white with tan interior looks great but the keyword is tan... not light beige.

Lastly, the silver-painted door handles match better with the dark purple door inserts of Misty Grey than beige.

I tend to agree with your observation, however (and I've viewed Bisque and Misty only in pics) the two-tone Misty gray and VERY dark color combo is WAY too "contrastful" IMO. So we go from bland monotone bisque --- to bland darker gray monotone --- to a contrastFULL light/very dark gray combo.
None would be my first choice...but have no choice but to make a choice. Not as if Toyota would be crashing into Lexus territory if a bit more visual taste was delivered here - especially for a vehicle this price (esp IV & V). Just appears as they either got bad advice, rushed, or cheapened out.
And - if the carpet floor mats will all be black...HUH? Black mats show almost EVERYTHING. Had them in a Supra and was constantly shaking them out.

Does anybody know if all other countries have exactly the same 3 interior choices we have in U.S. - independent of the different exterior colors available worldwide? For sake of assembly simplicity, inventory and cost I'd have to believe so.
