    That would be Smokey Granite Mica, no? Isn't that closer to Magnetic Grey?

    Autoblog just posted a review of the 2010 Prius and included a photo gallery with more winter gray shots.

    Went to view Winter Gray Pkg V at the dealer today ... wasn't as taken by it as I thought I might be. Looks like it's down to Blizzard Pearl and Black again ... I hope to see a Blizzard Pearl pkg V sometime. I am leaning Black right now.

    Winter Gray was dark ... darker than some pics led me to believe (was warned by posters it looked darker in person). It looked nice, but not nice enough for me to snag it. There is a Package V in black with my name on it coming in late June. We'll see if I can keep my mind made up.

    Anyone who's looking for a Package V in Winter Gray w/Misty Gray interior (w/NAV ... sticker just over $30,000) ... there's one available as I type this. If you want the dealer/salesperson info, PM me.

    I'm a little dissapointed in the colors too. Toyota/Lexus always lacks great colors...I love mine, the black garnet pearl, but its rare I see a Toyota/Lexus color I "love".

    The colors you're seeing on Lexus cars are either Flint Mica or Smokey Granite Pearl and are different from the Misty Grey.

    If your car sits outside...I'd get the blizzard pearl. Don't be concerned about repaints, good modern shops can match the paint on a pearlcoat. White is hard though...

    It was a hard choice for me as I wasn't immediately in love with the winter gray (or any color for that matter) but the talks and photos showing it darker than some of the early photos have swayed me.

    I would agree that I would prefer something with a little more pop or metallic look to it, similar to what is offered on Lexus or other Toyota models. But I won't complain and am looking forward to my first Prius! :)

    hmmm... could be my monitor but car looks like an "off black" to me. dont remember it being that dark looking in person, but we were inside with "disco" lights so made every thing look a little different

    I think the overcast makes it look especially dark, but it is pretty darn dark.

    And the overcast pics make it look closer to the real life shade of colour.
