    Hmm... the car I have now is a silver and I'm not the best at keeping up with cleaning the exterior. I'm just not sure I want silver again. The gray is OK looking. Any other color suggestion? Blue? I've never been into brighter colors, but the blue seems nice.

    We're working on it with urging from alfon and myself. :D

    It appears to be under 5% (GenIII) but higher than 2% (GenII) but we don't have enough data yet.

    I did see the dark grey and did not like it....was originally going to get red, but a black came available sooner...and I like black...just a lot of work to keep it looking good!

    The car looks absolutely great. Most people don't have a clue how to keep a car looking new. Very few colors show off a shine as well as black or very dark blues, etc.

    If one enjoys detailing and takes pride in one's ride, black is certainly the way to go. I have just ordered the same color. Should have it in a week.

    I haven't been to PC very frequently since I traded my Gen II in a couple of years ago. Might still be a photo of ol' "Quasimoto" in an album here.

    Long story short, I'm back in the Prii family (although a notorious black sheep) and with another black beauty.

    Again, car looks spectacular. Congratulations.

    Looks great! I traded in my black car for a silver C3. Kind of miss the black (even though it was a pain to maintain!)

    The Prius C has paint protection on impact areas so that should help it look newer longer.
