Magnetic Gray equivalent???

uclabruins · 03-22-2006, 10:10 PM

I've seen something dark (gray I think), but not sure what color it is. Can anyone help? It doesn't seem like the Magnetic Gray will be out anytime soon. Was this color from a different year than 2006? Thanks in advance.

One more question - What is the difference between Millenium Silver Metallic and the Classic Silver Metallic?

Thanks in advance.

Dark Gray will not be available until at least May for the 2006. The picture your referred to is the Dark Gray, but on a 2004.

The easiest way to tell the difference between the 04/05 and the 06 is the rear tail lights. On the 04/05 the upper portion looks black, and blends more into the lower window. On the 06 the upper portion is silver.

Classic Silver Metallic is the 06 Silver. I am not sure about the Millenium, but it was probably from an older year.

If you go to www.prius.com you can see all of the current colors.

Good luck

uclabruins,

That colour is called Tideland Pearl. It's actually green but on most days, it's grey.

Classic Silver is very very silvery, much more so than Millennium Silver. Think of Classic as Millennium but turned up a notch.

Here's an approximation of what the Magnetic Gray will look like (likely a few shades darker than the Tideland):

I have a Classic Silver. It's whiter than Millenium. Millenium is 'Golder'. Classic Silver is a sharp crisp fresh Silver. See if you can find a Scion Tc. They do those in Classic Silver.

It is Very easy to keep clean which was our debate in not waiting for a Magnetic Gray one. The 4Runner of 1999 was painted with a dark sable-gray paint. I love that color, but Classic Silver is easier to keep clean without requiring unecessary overt water use to clean it.
