    We have an 05 Prius silver with the grey interior and was looking at an 08 Spectra Blue with the dark interior. I noticed the seats are different. Does anybody have any experience comparing the 04 and 05 seats to an 07,08 Prius. Do you notice any difference in comfort or wearability? Also does anybody have an opion if the spectra blue will show the dirt more than silver or magnetic grey? Thanks alot for your opions

    different in what sense? Design? pattern? I sat in an 07 with Magnetic Grey and grey interior and it didn't feel any different.

    I know that Toyota lowered (or thinned?) the rear seat bottom cushion for 2006 model year, creating more headroom in the back. I presume this carried forward for 07/08. I have not heard of anything else... :huh:

    The Spectra Blue I have shows dirt very easy on the exterior....I'm sure it would show more dirt than the silver...not sure about the magnetic grey. Wasn't sure if you meant the interior showing more dirt or the exterior. The interior color of dark grey would be the same as the Spectra Blue.

    Hi All,

    The 2005 (presumably without side airbags) I test drove have broader bottoms and shoulder portions, with little lumbar bump. My 2006 with the side airbags in the seats is tighter all the way round, with a very larger lumbar bump.
