    Noelty or Godiva, could you please design one in black and white to look like an orca?

    ...Ok, I took a stab at my blue paintjob, borrowing the previously-posted shot from the garage, and then at the request for bright yellow. Orca---I do not know:

    I like both those colors. If the Prius came in that yellow I would get it.

    Ya know, that blue is very close to "Dark Blue Metallic" on the Japanese Prius. Very nice!


    Also, couldn't you just find a Prius cab for yellow? lol. Or just come to Vancouver, BC and you'll see yellow Priuses everywhere!


    What about a Snoopy Edition? Take the Super White, add black mirrors and... I do not know what else since the tyres are already black. Eyes on the hood? but that picture only shows the rear quarter...

    How about tweaking it a bit? Add a bit more magenta to send it more into the indigo and perhaps darken just a bit.

    That's my dream color. A blue so deep you almost think it's violet but it's not.

    I do like the Blue Ribbon Blue and Regatta Blue Toyota has now. But I want a deep blue bordering violet.

    I do hope someday a dark blue Prius is available in the U.S. If I have to wait until it has LiI batteries and plug in....that's OK. (Side signal mirrors would be a bonus.)

    Guess it's time to dig out my old-school rotating color pallete pic I did up while we were waiting for the '04's to be delivered. The tideland impression was pretty close.

    If all that was true I would trade in my VW Beetle for that then have 2 Prii.

    My former car, a Malibu, was just that color.
    It looked filthy 10 minutes after being washed and waxed.
    Showed so much dust!

    However, for those 9 minutes, it was truly gorgeous...

    I don't suppose you could do one in baby blue, like a sonic blue Fender Stratocaster, or a 66 Cadillac baby blue?

    Super easy to see this was meant to be funny, as NO company worth their salt, would ever follow GM's marketing (or product line for that matter), for fear it would lead them down the same sorry, dark, scarry, dismal, delusional path ;)

    I have been seriously thing of having a blue/yellow lighting bolt painted down the side of my silver Prius. Kind of following the lines of your Starsky and Hutch Job. It looks great in my head, how about giving it a shot....
