    Yeah but it's a light colour which will hide dust and swirl marks (like silver) better than darker colours (like blue ribbon or black)

    At least III (got to have my XM radio installed, I've had 2 stolen from my cars already), but I'm not sure what else I'll get. I'm sixth on the list at my dealership, so it may be a month after the first deliveries before I get mine.

    As for colors, my wife doesn't want silver or black or that dark gray, so 40-50% of the cars are a no go. Of course, if one falls to me earlier and it has appropriate equipment maybe I can convince her about the colors.

    Ideally, a IV with solar roof, but the cost may negate that possibility. A big jump from 23,750 to 30,250 for some of the goodies.

    I'm hoping by being less than specific about colors I'll get it sooner.

    Those are the 2 colors I'll be deciding between: Silver vs. Blizzard Pearl. Will have to see both in person before I can make a decision.

    Well, I am getting 0070, and on the inside LA10!~ HAHA just kidding, It's Blizzard Pearl, and on the inside I assume 0070 is light gray. Any of the interior colors would be fine with me though. If I had to pick, I think I might actually go with the tan interior.

    Brad, actually 60 is the color code for Misty Gray. Don't know, but maybe 70 is the light beige. In that case, you get your first choice!

    Rich, I got the PIII in Winter Gray. It wasn't my first choice. However, now that I've seen, I really love the color. It really has a lot of blue in it. The big disadvantage to buying early is that one cannot see the car in their various colors. Pictures just don't do justice to certain colors. Hopefully, the dealer is close by so that you'll be able to drop by to check out the new cars/colors when they come in. Who knows, your wife may change her mind.

    I got Classic Silver Met./Misty Gray leather interior which was my first choice. My second choice was Sandy Beach. Not many Sandy Beach 2010 Prius around these parts (San Diego CA).

    Prius Executive (loaded model V) in Blue Ribbon with Misty Grey interior, or Royal Blue (8T5) and Aqua as they are called over here. Why? I drive a red car now, and all the other colours are so subdued. This blue is not a light greyish blue, or a dark blue, but a full deep blue. I choose the Mist Grey interior because it looks much more exciting. The only other option here is grey, which is rather dull in my opinion.
