2010 Options you Need help Deciding on

All colors are hopeless when side by side with the premium Blizzard Pearl. Trust me

One of the reasons I did not go with Silver this time is -----well, that is all you see in the pre-2010s. As for Pearl, it is getting to be like the old Silver. I wanted my Prius to be different but at the same time "eye catching". Pearl is nice, so is Silver and I almost went with the W.Gray. In the end, you need to go with your gut, the one you will keep getting up, going to the garage just to take a peek at your new (color) Prius.

thanks everyone for your input. Someone down the street bought a winter gray and i keep driving by it to see if i picture myself in it. I think part of the appeal of winter gray is that it's a "different" color and i'm sort of quirky myself. but in terms of what is more practical, silver seems the way to go. I love the barcelona red and the pearl as others mentioned - but those colors are so not me, beautiful though nonetheless.
the other thing i'm running into is that the silver seems so readily available and i find myself finding the winter gray more appealing. i guess i find the hard to get factor appealing..oy..what to do! if only i wasn't so indecisive!

I was going to get the Winter Gray originally but they didn't have one in stock so I got the Silver instead. In retrospect I'm glad it worked out that way...the Silver is a great-looking color (it almost looks like white sometimes) and incredibly easy to care for.

Unless silver paint has changed dramatically in recent years it has always been the worst color to fade.

Anyone have any input in this? This may seem ignorant, but what does a faded silver look like? Silver is already such a light color.

I'm currently trying to decide between winter gray metallic, blizzard pearl, and silver (though dealers' availability may decide for me)!

I think the faded silver looks more dull than faded. As for winter gray, i was just told this morning in my neck of the woods that they are "hard to come by" and wasn't even given a timeline in getting one...i've seen many silver ones around, and a few blizzard. personally i like the blizzard the best, it's so unique, but i'm not a white car person at all otherwise i think i'd pull trigger!

I think the Winter Gray is a lot like black...looks great CLEAN but hard to keep that way - and I am saying this after only 10 days! A good wax or clear coat helps the shine...mine looks alot better after a hand-polish this past weekend.

For me, I park the car on the street and wash it twice a year so it's easy choice to get the silver. I started out looking for Blizzard Pearl but they are hard to come by right now on Pkg 2 and after some thinking I decided to go with silver. The rear tail light also match better with silver paint IMO.

I used to drive a silver 2008 and was really bored with the color after a while. My primary choice was the Winter Gray and i absolutely love it. That said, yes its more work hiding dirt and stains now..
