2011 Color Combination Dilemma - Help!

I was bored at work today, so I did a little searching. I could not find anything. I am surprised that there are so few cars with Misty Grey in California.

Maybe you can get ahold of Dianne and see if she can get one coming on the boat allocated.

 

I would choose Metalic Silver as it always looks clean although sometimes it's not. In a distance,it always looks clean and sharp.

 

Actually black is the best color. It's been proven.

 

Proven by who?

 

Maybe it should be a combo of black and Blizzard Pearl.

A solution for you -

Silver with dark Gray interior - extremely common and thus easier to resell. Functional because light colors absorb less heat, doesn't show dirt as easily. Inside, Gray hides dirt and smudges, yet won't show fuzz and light things as much.

 

There was a long nice person thread about this about a year ago but now I can't find the thread. (I hate when this happens). Anyways, the scientific conculsion they came to was that the black is superior. This was for the Gen II however.

 

I have the Classic Silver and Misty Grey interior combo and really like it. Will be nice and cool in the summer and silver hides the dirt well. Don't worry about the interior, that's what they make Scotch Guard for. Already gave my interior a good coating of it, with another to come in a month or two.

 

Our's is an '08 in Metallic Silver with Dark Gray interior ... and I think it looks great! At FIRST, I thought the Dark Gray interior would be TOO dark, but it seems a lot "lighter" in the car than it did in the brochure we'd been looking at at the time. (When we bought -- about two weeks AFTER the price of gas peaked in '08 -- Prii were VERY hard to come by and actually find in dealer's lots; when we "ordered" our color scheme, we could ONLY go by the images in the brochure!)

 

That's because you didn't mention Blizzard Pearl as a choice in your OP. I'd pick BP over silver, especially if I were to get the SR.

The nice thing about Misty Gray is the two-tone gives it a more sporty look. Dark Gray (actually charcoal) does contrast with Silver and BP, but it's rather monotone.

Just get what you like the best. Don't settle for 2nd best or go with what others like. Colors are pretty subjective.

 

I can get you this car. If you can wait about 10 days or so for it to arrive, I can get it for you.

Call me at 949 689 0717 if you are serious about having a gray car or a silver car with misty cloth!

I "believe" Power Toyota in Irvine has one too. But all I could confirm is that they have the Winter Gray exterior and a "lighter than the dark gray" interior. I don't know what that means and neither did the person I was talking to on the phone. But they seem to have a large stock of the Winter Gray Prius.

However, I'd give Dianne a call first, as she posts to this message board and is very helpful.
