    Went to the store today and when I came back I noticed a friend parked next to me. The 2023 reservoir blue is definitely flatter and darker than the outgoing model. I kind of wish they had a brighter blue for 2023, what do y'all think?

    They're both flattering, but I think the older brighter color is nicer.

    Your blue is quite striking. I occasionally see one of those where I live. I like the new blue too but wish it wasn’t quite so flat. Still a really nice blue though.

    agree. the new blue seems muted. BMW seems to do a better job with blue than Toyota.

    I like the brighter blue better but they are both gorgeous!

    The Prime that I found (luckily) at a dealer was blue, and I actually like it quite a bit. I think this car looks best in the supersonic red, really pops and draws attention to the car. My second favorite color is the blue;)

    I like your blue better and also noticed how much that rear door handle in the new Prius shows....not really liking that! But I do like the Alpha Romeo-style of the new Prius.

    Now I understand why they increased the tyre size, it is all about aesthetics.

    I like the new blue just how I also like the Guardian Grey one, I just prefer darker colors
