What color is your 2016 Prius?

Blue Crush Metallic here.

 

Hypersonic Red! Black interior.
Have a 2013 in blue, 2009 Camry Hybrid in silver.
All the ads from Toyota show the car in red, so got it in red.
Besides, 'Hypersonic' should go faster, am I right?

 

I got the charcoal one, if I had noticed the blue crush I would have chosen that for sure


iPad ?

 

Sea Glass Pearl. A light Blue-Green.

 

Holy Cow! Beautiful picture.













Merged.






I agree, the Blizzard does seem to show more dirt. (I don't recall ever washing my silver/grey Camry this much.) But it sure looks nice when all polished up. And a coat of ArmorAll really brings out the black on those great Toyo tires... the quietest tires on the road!

No fair, you got the pearl finish and it did not cost extra as the Blizzard Pearl does!

No fair! You got a pearl finish and did not have to pay $395 extra that they ask for the Blizzard Pearl color!







Merged.

I like that the cream/white color contrasts more strongly with the polished black plastic fakery towards the back that they put there to give the roof that floating effect. The white compliments and completes this illusion best.

 

It does look pretty when clean and polished. It sparkles...
The red color also costs an extra $395.

 

The Hypersonic Red is a nicer hue of red than the previous Prius reds. Mine is a 4 with the AT package. It doesn't show the dirt as much as the white or black ones I'm seeing. I'm very pleased with it. I also got the beige interior and together has a very rich appearance.

 

One week still and I have the red one. Here white cars are trend, so that ruled white out. Almost every other cars then are gray or black. So I wanted something else. Red was my choice, hopefully it gives some safety too since others see it better in.

 

Does anybody else think it's ridiculous that Toyota charges an extra $395 for certain colors?! (White, Red.) Does any other auto company do that?

I really like the Red. In fact, I it was my first choice. But I went with White for these reasons:

-I previously owned 2 Red cars in my youth.
-I thought maybe the White would be somewhat cooler in hotter months. Myth?
-The salesman took off an extra $250 on the White car (when I said I might wait for Red.)
-I kept having bad dreams about some creep taking a key to the side of my shiny Red car!
-With a bright Red car (at age 61!) I thought I might look like the typical "OLD GUY trying to be young again." That mid-life crisis, thing.

No offense to any of you "OG's" that chose Red. And speaking of Red, I rarely see an older Red Prius on the road. In 10 years, I think I've seen 3? Maybe that's a good thing... it's unique. I see hundreds of White, Dark Grey, and Black, in that order. (But with White, out here in California, it seems every White Prius has a young female driver! Did I buy a "chick's color"???)

Edit to add: This morning, I saw a Red Gen2. The 4th one in 10 years.

 

I have a red 05 Prius and the paint is starting to peel off. Many other companies charge more for certain colors (mainly luxury brands and especially Tesla). Tesla has two colors that don't cost anything: white and black. Tesla has five colors that cost $1,000 and two that are $1,500: Red and White Pearl.

I think it's kind of dumb that car companies charge us extra for paint because most people will say something like what you said to the salesman, to take of the extra charge for paint. How much could a different paint color cost the automaker? Probably not much.

I would guess that "special paint" costs the auto maker very little. (Otherwise, they would just go find a new paint supplier!) Regardless, they jack up the price to the customer, and make it sound like you're getting something "special." And it still chips darn easily!

 

Enjoy the pics!

 

Nice! IMO, that's one of the best color combos.

 

Auto companies have cheapened the paint, just like they've cheapened everything else. ( I think they actually buy it from an outside company.)
