    Any owners of PineMica + DarkGrey interior?

    How do you feel about the combination?

    hi. i'm a potential owner. i'm supposed to pick up my 06 Prius, SPM w/ dk. interior tomorrow. I haven't seen the SPM in person yet, so i am undecided as to whether or not this will be the Prius I take home. Have you seen the color up close? My only reference has been the brochure and the website. I initially thought the bisque interior would be nice.....actually, i thought that is what i ordered, turns out to be the dark grey.

    That my car, I like it a lot. A darker colour for the interior is the way to go, doesn't show the dirt as bad

    OK, just drove mine from the dealer an hour ago.
    I really like the SilverPineMica. It was my 3rd choice
    after Silver or Red.
    It's more subtle than I expected.
    Not too far from a type of silver. Definetily not lime green.
    I would have preferred Bisque interior but I'm getting
    used to the Dark Grey now.

    This coming from a non-SPM fan, it does NOT look like lime sherbet, don't worry! Looks like more of a soft pistachio green to me. :)

    for "potental owner", I think you will like the colour, but it seems some aren't fans. It's an individual thing. I am planning to buy touch up paint from a company called chip mender. The code for the colour is "6U0", which their company calls "pistacho metallic" for some reason. That will give you an idea of the colour maybe

    Ok I picked up mine today. SPM + DarkGrey.
    The color is starting to grow on me.

    Any idea why toyota delayed the Magnetic Grey till May?

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think they delayed it till May so that it coincided with either a special anniversary for Toyota, or with the release of the new Camry. I could be completely wrong though.
