    Japan is now supporting a "Black Cherry" color like the Prius Persona series on their Prius v (alpha) models. If I had seen this a month ago I might've been tempted to wait and see if they'd offer this in North America before getting a Magnetic Gray.

    :)Beautiful color. Being so dark, is it hard to maintain?

    No question I would have gotten that before my white v. I drove a black cherry Person lift back. Gorgeous color. But the fancy lower profile tires made it ride like a brick, and I didn't like how it handled.

    The white is, to say the least, no fun at all keeping clean. But it does stay remarkably cool even in hot weather.

    Not too mention, that v has the window shields many of us v owners have been searching for.

    I've been waiting years for my Prius, and this is enough to make me wait longer. I didn't like any of the colors they originally came out with on the G3, and the 2 new colors since the v came out are OK but not great. This is a color I'd buy even though it's so dark and I live in Florida.

    But where did they get the window deflectors? Many of us have been trying to find them.
