New Prius

Congratulation on joining the Prius club.
I have a white Prius and it looks great. I put a black with a red stripe side dressing on it to stop carpark door dings. Also, think about tinting. It takes any starkness off the vehicle.

 

Congratulations! Wish I were so lucky. White is one of my favorites, and PKG. 8 is out of my league pricewise. What color is the interior? Planning any mods?

 

Yeah I dont think white is as popular, I mean its just bleh.. white

HOV sticker time better NOT be over, I'm still waiting for mine!

I'm guessing ontop of the "higher" cost for an economy car people don't want to pay for all those extra gadgets, I chucked a fit at one Toyota dealer trying to sell me a #6 package and I asked him why I would want to spend $2400 for a 6 disc cd changer & blue tooth. Personally I would have went with an optionless package since almost everything can be installed aftermarket for way less than what Toyota is charging, but package #3 is the minimum one can get in this area apparently, so it turned a $21,700 MSRP to a $24000 MSRP. With package #8? Just went up to near $30000.

Many folks put their names on several dealers' lists at once. When a car arrives with their specs, the dealer calls around. Some folks have already found a car elsewhere, so the dealer just continues down his list.

As long as there are more buyers than available cars, the dealers don't mind. So a few of those seven may have already found their cars elsewhere; it isn't necessarily accurate that they turned down your car specifically.

 

To answer the question in the title of this thread (which seems to have nothing to do with your original post):

Yes.

 

Boring?

Is the national anthem "boring"?

Is the Eagle Scout induction ceremony "boring"?

Is a BAPTISM "boring"?

Of course!

And your point is...

I got my SuperWhite 2006 package 5 off the lot - I'm glad white isn't the most popular color - I needed the car! Yes, it wasn't my first choice color, but it's SO beautiful! Charcoal interior - and I'm getting leather seats in a couple of weeks, and getting my moldings and bumper protector put on Monday (it's not supposed to rain - it rained all last week).

And I'm not bored by these 'I just got my Prius' posts - welcome to the ranks of the Proud Prius owners!

The only currently available new Prius in my area is a #2 white/beige. If you don't mind that color combination and low option package, I suspect it will be the easiest new Prius to find on a dealer lot.

I'm not bored at all by such posts. The enthusiam of the new owners who make such posts just about jumps off the page and lets the rest of us who are interested share in your enthusiasm.

One thing about a white car - it does not heat up in the sun as much as a dark coloured car. Red is the worst colour for sun heating that I have driven.
My white job has grey leather interior.
