    Yes, the full story is HERE

    Note the following: "Others believe that greys -- deeper, darker metallics -- will eclipse the lighter silvery shades. "Grey offers more dimensions, from warm to cool," says Leighton. "It's a fresh look and an alternative to silver."

    My all-time favorite exterior colour is a dark, metallic forest green that sort of shifts tone and depth when you look at it. But unfortunately that wasn't the Prius shade, and I'll only buy grey interiors and not beige.

    But ya, I quite like the darker metallics too, almost like a pewter or dark bronze colour.

    As those weren't available, I went silver (which also increased my chances of getting a car quickly). I think tideland pearl or black would've also worked for me, but silver was my first choice and happened to be what they were producing the most vehicles in.

    Silverstone Grey Metallic on the G35 looks nice and I thought is a nice alternative to their bright silver shade
