    So I was checking out the compound lot. The 2010s were just unloaded (and are being unload across the country) today.

    I saw a Blue Ribbon with Misty Grey. I took a closer look and it appears that our Misty Grey is different from the U.S.' Misty Grey!

    Ours comes with black contrasting door inserts and centre console lid vs. the US' dark purple.

    Sweet, that looks great! :) What I would have liked to see here in the US was for the misty gray to have the dark grey (or even black after seeing your pic!) accenting and for the dark grey to have black accenting. I think the dark grey would have looked great with the accenting as well.

    One thing I have to admit it the dark gray leather in my blizzard pearl is beautiful. Maybe it is me, but it looks different (in a better way to me) than the dark grey leather that was in the blue car that was shown at the prius connection events. If it is the same exact color etc, maybe I just like it better in the white car... I do feel the dark grey interiors would look best in light colors like silver and white whereas the misty gray will look best in the dark colors like the gray, black, blue etc.

    I didn't know you can get Misty Gray interior with Blue Ribbon exterior. It must be Canada only?

    Mm... I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it was black. But yes, the dark grey does look better on lighter cars and the Misty Grey on darker colours (again, must the contrast thing btwn a light exterior and dark interior and vice versa).

    Canadian only. We get Misty Grey in two colours only - Blue Ribbon and Winter Grey. You guys get it on the CSM and BP. I think you can even get it on the black right?

    Must be - having access to dark gray only was 1/2 the reason I switched my color from Blue Ribbon to Blizzard Pearl. Other half was the blue showing dust/swirls and being a hot color in the sun!

    Australia gets a choice of both light and mid grey interiors on ALL colours except the Red.....for some reason, Toyota Australia makes only the darker grey available with that paint colour code.
    My Blue with the light grey (Aqua) interior will look beautiful when I get it next month though!

    Oh I'm sure it will. I saw that colour combo today!
