    Please post your pics. Do you still love it? I get compliments often. Many people have never seen one!

    She cleans up nicely!

    I love that color. Especially since it goes so well with just about any interior color.

    Only one problem: it only shipped with black simulated leather/vinyl with black cherry contrast stitching of the Persona Series for one year only, 2013.

    Have only seen one, at the Mass Pike service area. Was an out of stater. Don't think they are common in New England. Nice color though.

    Rare color in my area too.

    Yet, I just saw one yesterday.
    So my rare sighting of a super color right on que.

    That color just "crys out" to be constantly clean and waxed.

    I've often wondered how many were produced as it was only on the 2013 Persona but I've never been able to find out.

    I sent a question to Toyota Corp about how many Black Cherry Pearl 2013 Personas were produced and how many total 2013 Personas with a reply that they do not have that information.

    "Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. Inc.

    We apologize as we can not advise how many 2013 Toyota Prius vehicles have been manufactured in the Black Cherry Pearl color. Our system allows us to view specific information with a vehicle identification number (VIN #), but general manufacturing statistics are not available at headquarters.

    Thank you for choosing Toyota for your driving needs. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us.

    Sincerely,

    Erika H.
    Toyota Customer Experience Center"

    Oh well... I tried.

    I get compliments on my 2013 Persona all the time, especially about the interior and the head unit upgrade I did. It just kills me how much milage I put on it in 3 years... 86K....

    My husband and I just purchased a 2013 Prius Persona in this color. We love it!

    Still the best color car I've ever owned. I really like the red stitching on the interior, you don't really notice it unless you're looking for it but it provides a nice little pop to the inside of the car.

    As long as you keep it clean and waxed you'll turn a lot of heads!

    When I was looking for mine I could not find one for sale in Oregon. Ended up buying from CarMax and having it shipped up from California. Now that I have mine I've noticed a few more around, including one in my neighborhood.

    Talks about this color being rare including the interior being a unique color also, but no photos posted. Starting to sound like the lochness monster said the dark red wine.
