    To join the club, all you have to do is drive a magnetic gray Prius! Although as of this writing my Prius is roadsalt gray, as soon as it warms up, that will change.

    So... who's in?

    Do you let me join?
    Mine is called "Dark Grey"? Is it the same color or not?
    I tried to figure out by the pictures in the pdf's from toyota.com and toyota.se But I do not know, what do you say?

    I guess you could figure it out be the colorcode, but it is still a bit strage that the have different names and/or colors in diffrent places.

    The ironic part: I didn't even order magnetic gray; I ordered classic silver. I'm the type for whom color is totally unimportant in a car. About a month after I ordered my car, I got a call from the dealer: "We have a Prius in with the package you ordered, but it's a different color." I ran to the dealer: it was driftwood pearl. Sorry, Driftwood Pearl folks out there; while it looks great in pictures, in real life l didn't like it. I can deal with brown cars, and I like shiny cars, but I can't deal with shiny brown. It looked like, basically, a polished turd. I passed on it.

    About a week later, he called again, same thing. Same package, different color. I ran there. Magnetic gray. It was love at first site; I liked it even more than I liked the silver (and still do). I grabbed it and never looked back.

    I'm in. I've got more grime on my Intrigue because the Prius stays home for the storms.

    Now a question for the club. I have two scratches on the door down to the white primer. What is the "best" source for touch up paint? Since I don't have any body shop talent I'm thinking of just applying some paint with a toothpick to the scratch. I am open to better suggestions.

    Thanks.

    It's a nice color, I actually ordered a mag grey, but my black car was available earlier. Love the black though :)
