Is that the one with the beautiful DARK BLUE Camry?

Why can't the Prius come in that color?

"Time to move forward". That just has to make GM quiver.

Is there a way to watch this Camry video on John's website if you have an iMac? Instructions say to right click and save target as. Can't seem to do that on my iMac.

Well, you can download the file by holding down the Control key then click on the link. But QuickTime doesn't play this type of file - avi mp4v2.

That'd be 'blue ribbon metallic'. It would look very sharp on a Prius.

Here is another commercial video for the Camry Hybrid:

And here is a preview of the 2007 Prius at the Geneva Auto Show. (Not much changed, nav system update, but it does show the parking assist in action):

One-Button mouse (iMac) and Quicktime instructions are available on the download webpage, and I have tested them at the Apple Store to confirm they work.

I just tried with a new Mac laptop using OS 10.4.6 and QT 7.0.4 (both latest versions). One gets an alert that a component is missing. But no clue as to what the component is. The audio is fine, but the video is white. The video plays fine on Windows in Media player 10. Maybe the unit you tried at the Apple store had an additional codec that is not stock with QuickTime on the Mac. Do you know what codec needs to be installed? Do you know how this avi file was encoded?

At the Apple store, we had to manually download it. The name of the codec on Apple's website was "MS-MPEG4v2", as stated on the webpage.

Someday, I'm hoping to be able to provide a format that can deliver quality that high in a file that small with an ubiquitous player. Such a thing is just a dream still, but there is potential. Flash 8 might be able to fulfill that want. Until then, those with a Mac have a one-time step to take.

Ah, ok. Sorry for being dense. I was looking at the Apple QuickTime website (this is what the QT player directs one to). The codec is not located there. A quick Google turns up the codec though. Thanks John.

I know Toyota makes that beautiful dark blue in other cars. I saw a 4runner(?) in the same gorgeous dark blue in the staff parking lot.

I want a beautiful dark blue Prius! Maybe 2007 or 2008? After what I've read about the redesign I'm not sure I want a the new redesigned 2009 Prius. I like it the way it is and with a hatchback. As little chrome as possible.

Dark blue Prius, gray interior. Ah....my dream car. I'd even splurge to get the highest package...since it would probably be my retirement car.
