Classic Silver vs. New Magnetic Grey

aalpenia · 04-27-2006, 09:06 PM

This week, I decided to buy a Prius for all the obvious reasons + I just had to have it. I have a great contact that owns many dealership in the US. and can hook me up pronto. Dealer can get me a Classic Silver package #8 this weekend, or I can wait 2-4 weeks to get the new Magnetic Grey. I have seen the silver and its fine. I have yet to see the grey in person. I want to know if it is worth the wait, or is the grey overrated? I am leaning towards the grey, from the photos I have seen online, but would rather hear it form someone who has experienced it in carne viva . Boy, regardless, I am EXCITED!

The Gray just came out, so not many people have it. I'm in the same position as you. I can't decide which one I like better Classic Silver Metallic or Magnetic Gray...

Go see the magnetic gray yourself, now, on a new Camry. Every Toyota dealer I've checked has magnetic gray '07 Camrys on their lots.

My soon to be deliverd Prius has the color of Ultra Silver.
Is that the same as Classic Silver and do they use different names in Europe or is it a different color?

**Tideland Prius** · 04-28-2006, 02:20 PM

Same colour, different name.

Like how Salsa Red was Regency Red in Europe and... darn I forgot what they called it in Australia/NZ. Something to do with red wine heh.
