    Okay, so I am prejudiced. I think that the Superwhite Prius is the best looking (okay, the black Prii are very nice, too, except that keeping the dust off is IMPOSSIBLE).

    Anyone else with a Superwhite?

    Count me in with a '06 Super White! :)
    (This is the third white Toyota I've owned - '86 Tercel, '98 Corolla.)

    Here's mine - I wanted blue, settled for white, and never looked back. White is beautiful!

    Yep, I have one. White is a very good color for where I live (Sac CA) because it doesn't feel as hot when its blazing outside. These pics are from the day after I bought it (Feb 26).

    White is a good color here, too... as it is often rainy and grey out, and the white is very visible! Dear Hubbs says that the white looks larger, too... much more noticable on the highway. I think it's safer :)

    I originally wanted Millennium Silver, but when a Super White was available, I took it. Initially I was disappointed but you really can't see any of the car when you're driving and, after it's parked and you walk away you can't see it, so I just never thought about it.

    My wife wanted some variety of blue and settled for Millennium Silver. At first I was jealous but now, after a few years, the silver just doesn't have the same je ne se quoi, and the white looks pretty cool! My personal photo was of the Super White Prius, but it seems to have vanished. I'll upload it again (parked next to the silver one) tonight.

    As I see more and more of the various colors driving around, I'm becoming more enamored of Super White.

    Next problem... a catchy name for the club!

    This is our first white car... I'm amazed at how clean it looks, even when it is positively FILTHY! :D

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(biff_debris @ Jun 6 2007, 12:28 PM) [snapback]456739[/snapback]</div>
    I saw a silver-ish colored one yesterday. That was the problem, the color was very nondistinct, I was unsure if it was really silver or not. I've seen the blue, the dark silver, the beach-sand color, and the red. I'm glad we got the white one, too (it's all the dealer had).

    Catchy name? like a virus?

    I don't know why anyone would buy a dark colored vehicle living in the Sacramento Valley. :blink:


    After I sell my former commute vehicle (dark blue Toyota PU) we will have 3 vehicles, all white.

    I, too, have a white prius, 2007, package#4. I love it, only had it for two weeks..replaced a 2001 3/4 ton chevy suburban with the prius. very happy with my choice. Awesome implementation of the technology, fairly cheap to buy, and i fit in it well..(i'm 6'4', 255 lbs). One regret, though, i should've gone for the navigation system when i purchased it.

    Yeah, I've got an '07 Super White too!!! I thought that since none of the other colors really pop (except the red and black), and summer temps can be vicious, white was the perfect choice. Boy am I happy I chose it; it's my first white car and I'm totally in love!!! :p

    You can count me in as well, I just love white cars.
    Believe it or not I bought a 07 blue Camry and in last 07an a month I traded it in for a white one instead, cost me a grand but its worth it. Here is my 07 Touring Edition Prius :D .

    Well, I leave work in an hour, and I go to pick up my White Jelly Bean. I said nope to the cars on the lot and had to wait a while 'cause the white just felt right. My first Toyota; hope it's 1/2 as nice as I expect it to be!

    We have a white 2007 that we had to have shipped in because none of the dealers in the area had one the lot with package that we requested.

    This is the 4th white car we have owned. I guess we are still in the mode of living in AZ and looking for anyway to keep the car cool after sitting outside in the the summer heat.

    It would be interesting to see a survey of people's preferences for Prius color -- not what color they have, which may just be what the dealer had in stock -- but what color they wanted.

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised that those of us living in hot climates chose Super White cars.

    All of my best cars have been white. It wasn't on purpose; they just happened to be white. At first I felt dull and boring in my white cars. Then I started realizing the benefits:
    • People can see me coming,
    • Dirt (not just dust but DIRT) doesn't show,
    • White ages well,
    • Colors follow trends and when the trend is over, you are likley tired of that color,
    • White is classic and elegant, and
    • White shows off the car's beautiful design.
    The only white Prius the dealer had in stock had a lot more packaged stuff on it than I wanted, but the color made me shell out the money. And I'm glad -- the bells and whistles are useful and fun.
