    I have a theory about how a prius owners age will affect the color prius he/she will choose.

    Please help me collect some data to prove or disprove it.

    All I need from you my fellow prius drivers is your age at the time of your prius purchase and the color of your prius.

    If you have a prius on order please do not vote unless you have picked out a color yet.

    Also, I imagine there are those of you who did not have a choice when picking your color. So please indicate the color you ended up with and indicate which color you would have preferred to get.

    Here is mine:
    23 Black (preferred color)

    Disclaimer:
    Keep in mine this is by no way a scientific poll.

    Rules:
    1. One vote per Prius
    2. In the case of a married couple with one prius I averaged your ages and put down the color you choose as one vote.
    3. In the case of a married couple with two prii: I counted each spouse as a separate person, thus two votes
    4. In the case where people had children, there ages do not factor into your vote.
    5. In the case where you had more then one generation of prius you got a vote for each one.
    6. I realized the whole did you get the color you wanted thing made things messy so your vote ended up being the color you actually own.

    A note on colors:
    I realize there is a difference between blue ribbon and blue spectra but for the purpose of this poll your the same color. This made my data collection a lot easier and allowed for fewer data sets. If you are curious as to what you got marked down as see the following "conversions".

    Barcelona Red = Red
    Blizzard Pearl = White
    Blue Ribbon Metallic = Blue
    Dark Gray = Gray
    Driftwood Pearl = Gold
    Magnetic Gray = Gray
    Metallic Gray = Gray
    Salsa Red = Red
    Sandy Beach = Gold
    Seaside Pearl = Blue
    Silver Pine Mica = Green
    Spectra Blue Mica = Blue
    Tan = Gold
    Tideland Pearl = Green
    Winter Gray Metallic = Gray

    I also didnt care to much to differentiate based on seasides or pearls b/c my theory doesn't pertain to these differences.

    Finally my theory was that the oldest prius drivers drive gold prii. Other conclusions can be made from this data but I'll leave that up for everyone to discuss.

    Again I'll state the disclaimer again of this is in no way a scientific poll. (I feel this idea is lost on most studies in the media so its worth stating again).

    Enjoy and thanks for your help!

    I'll update the following data as more posts come every once in a while.

    37 Blizzard V, delivered June 4th.

    Initially leaned towards Blue Ribbon, but this was available first. Think it is nicest of the colors available now!
