    Yeah, so here is the deal. Sunday, a kid who was drunk, smashed my mother in law (and the '03 Mazda Protege she was driving), real good. As in, totaled it.

    SO, she loves my '05 Prius (and my '07 HyCam), and thus, on Monday I took her over to see Anthony Smith, my sales guy at King Toyota, to buy her new Prius.

    No waiting list. Package 7. Cloth interior. Nice color. And I get a referral fee, as well.

    Here is a picture of the family three, (mine is the white Prius and the HyCam in the background), and then some pics of her car.

    I love the MFD in it, and the back up camera is so cool! But they made the font bigger for the 'P-N-D-B' display, and it's on the left side of the speedo, not the right. And also, some of the idiot lights are in different places.

    Oh, and just like my HyCam, they have the stupid airbag light on the passenger side. And of course, the override (that works in my Prius and my HyCam), does not work here.

    The color of the '07 Hybrid Camry I have is called Blue Ribbon Metallic. Or is that Metallic Blue Ribbon? I know Blue Ribbon is in it.

    I know that it's real pretty, either way.

    I love that color. I hope they eventually offer it for the Prius. Or a darker blue. Hopefully by 2009.

    What is the color of her car? I couldn't tell from the pictures if it's magnetic grey or driftwood pearl... Either way, it's nice.

    Your blue Camry is really pretty.

    I just realised. Dark Blue Metallic is available on the 2006 Sienna. That's the Prius dark blue isn't it?

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(PriusRos @ Jul 4 2006, 06:44 PM) [snapback]281205[/snapback]</div>
    That's Driftwood Pearl

    TJ, it's Blue Ribbon Metallic. Toyota's new set of dark blues are great.. Your BRM and Nautical Blue Metallic on the RAV4 (which is even darker).

    My personal favourite was the Stratosphere Mica offered on the 01-03 Sienna, 03-04 Avalon. Indigo Ink on the Corolla/Matrix looks good under the sun too. Can you tell I like dark blue? :D

    Thank! Here is a pretty picture (or two), of it. I have to say, that while I love my Prius, the HyCam is so much quieter. And I love the MFD in it as well. I wonder if you can put a new MFD in the older Pirus. Does anyone know?

    Thanks! I had a feeling I was dyslexic there...

    That looks really really sharp! I'm not a big fan of the wheels but whatever makes you happy :).

    I gotta start finding photo op places near my area.
