    I just got my tan mats package today and I immediately called up the company. The mats were maroon in color and not tan. The bad part is that McNeil said that the tan is dark and not like how it is in the picture.

    All they could offer was a refund or exchange to a different color....

    In the pictures and on the box it looks like it will match PERFECTLY with the bisque interior. Pics to follow.

    I am pretty sure that tan in Japanese means Maroon.

    Mcneil makes the floormats 100% in America.

    Hmmm, I don't know. Maybe you could try ordering the maroon floormats? Ok, seriously how do the ones you received look in the car? Give it a try and show some pics - it is very possible they add some color to the monotone tan.

    I have the same issue. But I didn't want Grey or Black. Guess I'll live with it.

    "Tan" doesn`t mean any color in Japanese, most certainly not maroon. :rolleyes:

    Seriously? I must have been misinformed.

    Where is that sarcasm tag when it's needed?

    I also ordered from this company for some tan mats & they sent me a completely different one than that which was posted on their website http://cdn.priuschat.com/forums/images/smilies/mod.gif. I even told them "these are not tan, please send me tan" and they sent a second set that was the same as the first. Here's some pictures below.

    Wiserone did you end up purchasing mats from another vendor to match the interior?:eek:
