    Which one would you guys choose? Do you find the light coor to show dirt very easily and is it easy to wash? Which one should I go for?

    Y'know, I initially wanted the gray/burgandy, but I wanted the Tideland Green color more, and it only comes with the Ivory/Brown interior.

    However, most days of the week I park next to PriusChat member Porridge's Prius at the local park & ride. He has a Silver Prius with the Gray/Burgandy interior. So we've both done a lot of side-by-side comparisons.

    And y'know what? It's a coin flip. Neither of them are wonderful, but neither are awful either. I actually rather like the Ivory/Brown more than I initially did.

    I like the beige/black interior since they contrast each other nicely and looks sharp. The grey/burgundy interior is funky and would match the unique styling of the Prius. I prefer lighter interiors as they're a more lively place to be in. Grey is about the darkest I'd go. I've had no problems with hiding dirt in my beige interior and it still looks new except for a few scuffs (courtesy of Toyota technicians) on the plastic near the driver's footrest. Note that the black dashboard shows dust more easily.

    So there's some ideas to think about. I have the beige/black combo and have no regrets.
