Just bought my first Prius, a Tangerine Splash Pearl Prius C.

Nice! I wish other cars offered flashier colors. How many white, black, grey, red, blue and silver cars can we stand.

 

Jealous of the color!! Congrats and welcome!!

 

Beautiful car....Happy Driving

 

gorgeous! welcome, and all the best!

 

Wow - lovely colour - I wonder if the Prius Gen 4 will ever have exciting colours like that?

Re the dull colours mentioned by TonyWilkey, I think BMW were to blame starting the dull colour trend decades ago.

 

BMW? What did BMW do? USA customers don't want bright colored cars. My C is Habanero orange which is a brighter orange then the new Tangerine Splash. and Toyota phased it out as it did not sell well. Lets see how long Tangerine Splash will be offered. Generally European customers like bright colors.

 

When the 3rd gen Prius came out, many of us took a poll. The poll was to determine what colors were ordered the most & the least. Surprising to me was that the metallic blue & reds were some of the most ordered (as opposed to purchased off a lot) while the metalic silver & Sandy Beach (kind of a metallic taupe) were only some of the average favorite colors ordered. Ok, so the Prius red & blue are not necessarily bright fluorescent by any means - but at the time they were the brightest eye catchers available. One would think based on that, there would be more bright colors available in the US. The bright colors seem to be reserved for the smaller - less expensive cars as though only the younger folk appreciate the brightness. The only slightly bigger car that I can think of that has a color slightly on the Wild Side would be the Camry, which for a short while at least, came in that weird metallic celery color (I believe they called it) . That was one weird color. Must have been a decision made in some think tank somewhere, and they based the popularity of bright colors on that one bad example of bright color for bigger cars.

Had to look it up - the Jasper - don't think I've ever even seen that color around. (yea .... not too appealing & not to bright either) But the one we've always called metallic celery, that's the one you like I guess, but seems just a tad too out there for us imo ... though other bright colors work for me.

We have 2 bright colours - Tango and Zest in Australia.

 

Well then the US gets 4 bright colors, the two you listed and Sunfusion (yellow) and Red.....
