Black Cherry Pearl sightings...

Never seen one on the road, but I'd like to see one in person, the pictures look AWESOME!

 

I live in a small town. There's another one here in this town. A few weeks ago I stopped in a Kohl's on my way home from work. I came out of the store to find one parked next to me. When the owner came out we both had a good laugh about how rare they are.

Nexus 7 ? HD

 

i don't like feeling like im in some sort of "club" solely because of something i've purchased, so no i don't wave or try to contact other prius drivers any more than I would all other drivers on the road. i participate and read posts here for useful information, but don't care to be involved in any social aspect of it. same reason i don't post in the blizzard perl threads here or would ever attend some sort of meet and greet. do not know to me seems too snoobish to pay attention to certain people and not others simply because of a difference in what car or color of car they have chosen...

 

I've seen a few Black Cherry Pearl, in addition to Black and BP Persona.

Only the modded ones and the Five/Persona/Prius Plus, as there are way too many Prius around here.

 

The only one I have seen in the west side of Phoenix is mine... And I have not seen any in my recent travels to LA or SD...

 

I've seen one traveling Highway 1 between Castroville and Watsonville, CA. I don't know if I've seen the same one more than once or if there are more than one traveling that stretch of road. Nice color! My daughter saw one too.

 

You, my first view of a black cherry Prius, were driving westbound on Glendale-Milford Rd tonight. My you are a pretty color...

 

I have a DCP Personna and have seen two other (or maybe the same car, twice, since it was in the same area a few days apart). I love the color and that there aren't too many of them on the road. There are a ton of Prii, but not many Personnas.

 

My guess is the dealer took a 2012 Prius and put the Persona rims on, hence a dealer certified preowned Persona. Just like you can take any Prius and make it a Prius Plus with PPP parts after the fact.

 

No, we also have a 2012 Prius, there wasn't a 2013 option on the profile. I'll have to update my profile.

DCP: dark cherry pearl color.

 

Sorry I am not a fan of these fruity flavor of the month colors. In a few years when a new fruit is in fashion, it will look dated. But the black, white, and silvers will still look timeless, may a little boring.

Same goes for the two tone color, bright primary colors, etc.

 

This is always true, but there's no reason not to get one of these colors. Not everyone keeps a car for 10 years or drive it to the ground.

 

Resell value.

 

Colors that are unique to a specific model (like BCP on the Persona) can possibly increase the resale value. The now obsolete Sandy Beach Metallic, not so much. Otherwise, you're right that black, white and silver tend to hold their resale value better.
