    Finally got my spectra blue this weekend..pics attached. My husband took it to work last week...cause no-one has seen a spectra blue in my area. Many other prius owners were curious to see what a spectra looks like....strange. So I guess the color is a rarity :)
    Love the car though....she looks beautiful against the white snowy background.

    Saw another Spectra Blue flash by today. It is one of my favorite colors ever on a car.

    Welcome to the club!

    Lovely color. Would have been my pick had it been available in '97.

    OTOH, I would not have had to take drastic steps to fix the lousy boring color selection, and my life would not have been changed by my car.

    2008 I believe in the US. We don't get it in Canada and it's been available since 2004 in Japan.

    That's the color of my '09. Love it. Now if I could only find a small aerosal can of paint for my imitation "shark" antenna. It came silver. I'm an XM user so the the shark thing is just a cosmetic cover. Maybe silver won't look so bad.
    Yea Spectra Blue.. Discontinued for 2010 I think.

    I think you got lost in a time warp there Doc.
    Your whole car wasn't available in 97.

    I really like that blue, it's a great colour. The Blue Ribbon in very nice too.
    I'd still pick white pearl for my car but my pick for someone elses car would be a dark blue.

    OOPS!
    my other post went while i was typing :(

    what i meant to write was:

    Spectra Blue - was it only available in 08 & 09?
    and is there a site where i can see the 2010 colors?

    I hate temporal mechanics.

    More likely ring finger warp.

    Yup

    Umm, there are colour swatches on PriusChat under Albums. You'll have to search for a 2010 Prius album.

    Most of the colours (actually all except 1) are available on current Toyota models. The only new colour is Winter Grey
