    I've seen several wrapped ones out here in Prius country;).

    Mostly with company logo stuff, but there was a chrome wrapped one:).

    Thankfully I was passing it on the freeway in a cloudy day:whistle:.

    I'd hate to cross paths with it in the sun:sick:.

    totally agree. And Toyota makes some nice colors for their other vehicles, particularly the RAV4.

    Not if you get the Limited. They assume that people who go for the "luxury" features prefer boring colors.

    The PRIUS c had some vibrant colours - maybe they think real PRIUS drivers are boring? Which is the opposite of the 2 cars - the "c" is the less exciting to drive.

    Not that I've done an extended survey, but colors that aren't shades of beige or grey seem more likely to be available on smaller, entry level cars. If I had waited a year to get the Sonic, I would have gotten Dragon Green, just for its name. GM had started doing a special color for each year, I think purple might have been one.
