Does Volvo actually call that color "brown"? At least on my monitor, within that picture it almost has a bronze or gold look to it.

I don't know. Considering the usual criticism is that the Prius color pallet is too conservative, hard to champion a new addition as being "brown". But it looks nice to me.

I'm pretty conservative with my color likes anyway. It's hard for me to say, I always want to see the finished product first. I think I'd like some choice as to deeper metalics like the Blizzard Pearl that centered around red.

Your right. I think Volvo calls it Terra Bronze Metallic.

I think they could use a burgundy/wine color.

I would have bought the dark gray if it was more like the metallic gun-metal gray found on other Toyotas like the corolla. The winter gray was too flat and purple/bluish for me.

Yes. I almost bought one in 2007, filled a form at a dealer and waited. But the dealer never called.

I don't regret because I am very happy to end up with a 2010 model. But if the Silver Pine was still available, I would jump on it.

I like that blue/teal color that was on the G2.
