Yup... sold on Japanese Prii (and now European, I think.)

If they do add new colors to the US 2006 Prii, I think you can bet grocery money on dark blue.

I don't quite agree that the Seaside Pearl shade of light blue is close to a robin's egg. I have robin's eggs up to here in my neighborhood and it's just different.

To me, the Seaside Pearl shade reminds me of a basic blue denim color. That may sound circular, considering how many shades of denim there are now (with and without dirt), but I think of the Prius color as "blue jean" and so the interior goes well with it, again in my opinion.

Calling the whole interior "brown" or "gray" or even "grey" misses the point of the light/dark interior colors I have come to enjoy. The word ivory was (ecological considerations aside) well chosen for the Prius interior.

If it had been available I would have gone for a Super Bright eye melting YELLOW. VW used to have one called Cadmium yellow, or maybe like the Ferrari or Lambo yellos, but something REALLY Yellow, so as to distinguissh it from cabbie yellow which tends to be more muted.

Thank you all for responding to the poll.

No runaway "2nd Place" winner. Only poor Super White is obviously NOT the "second choice." And I think Super White is actually pretty sharp in person.

Maybe all color Prius are pretty. Except for Tideland <ducking> which doesn't do anything for me and was the very first color Prius I'd ever seen.

BTW, the poll is only for current owners, not wanabees, sorry.

I agree that Prius in bright yellow would be really cute.

I absolutely second that. My ideal combination would have been the Seaside Perl with the gray interior, however since that is not offered I went with the white exterior, since the interior color was more important to me than the exterior.

Same here! Everytime I see a Seaside I curse toyota for not giving it an optional gray interior. Then I could of had my perfect interior and exterior!

Well, the condition was, "other than what you already own," not, "want to own."

But I'm cool with your response because you have ordered a particular color. No problem.

Hope you don't wait much longer!

One thing I can take away from this poling is that there seems to be no breakaway dominant color preference for the Prius, and I think that's a good thing. It would be so boring if everyone concentrated on one color to the point it almost becomes cliche for the given car.

Case in point: I bought a charcoal grey S10 Blazer in 1987 early in the model year and it was the first time that Chevrolet offered anything like the color although that model had been produced for several years prior. At first, mine was a real stand out, because it was so unusual. But within a year, it seemed like that was the only color they were being produced in, it was that popular a color.

I'm actually glad that my #1 preferred color choice Tideland is not the most popular, and that it sounds like this will be the last year for the color.
