    My new magnetic grey metallic Prius c! [HQ pics added]

    Just picked it up today from my dealer in Toronto. It's a Prius c Technology Premium Package, which in Canada is the same as your c Four except 16" wheels are standard and not an option. Same with the sunroof.

    Anyway without further delay. Here are the promised pics!

    Updated the pics with high res ones from my photobucket account, I didn't realize the Tapatalk iPad app uploads them in such low res! Will have the take some pics of the interior, the softex seats are just gorrrrgeous.

    Oh one other difference between the Canadian and the US models. In Canada, all 2012 Toyota models come with both cloth floor mats and all weather floor mats! Dealers will say it's "free" but the cost is simply absorbed into our slightly inflated sticker price :p Also we have no Entune app here (probably due to licensing) but I seem to be able to do everything Entune offers with bluetooth audio streaming and my iPhone 4S, e.g. I can listen to Pandora, Slacker, or Accu Radio apps without issues. Pandora's a bit tricky though, you have to do some proxy wizbangery to get it to work up here. :) :)

    Anyway I don't have a 15" tire model to compare to, but I do find the ride to be a little on the rough side. Will increasing my tire pressure alleviate that at all?

    I'd think it would make your ride a little more rough.

    Congrats on the new car! I've been driving mine a week now and the fuel economy is simply amazing. Have fun!

    The grey looks good! Much better than I had expected. Even though it's dark, it seems to go well with the chrome-y tail lights pretty well too.

    Magnetic grey metallic with the bright silver 16 inch wheels... very, very nice!

    One thing though, next time you buy a new car, at least try to look a little excited, OK? Come on, it's a new car!:)

    Thanks for posting those pictures. I'm really looking forward to buying a c. Color is going to be a much tougher choice than I thought.

    I couldn't be happier! I find the ride a little rough if I have my head touching the head rest. If I sit forward a bit so the back of my head is not touching, I don't feel the road as much. Any thoughts on this?

    Yes, sit forward a bit so the back of your head is not touching the head rest. :pound:

    Lol well I never really thought about it much until driving my c. I think my Mazda 3 was a lot smoother bc I always drove with my head against the head rest. Probably will on highway and long distance driving, but city driving it gives me a serious head banging experience!

    Nice! I haven't seen the metallic paint on the Cs yet. My dealer only had an absolute red and moon glow. Does it have that "sparkly metallic flakes" effect in the paint?

    It sure does! It came as a welcome surprise, I love how it shimmers and shines in the sun. I love grey furnishings in my condo so this grey car fits the bill to a tee. It just makes the car look super classy IMHO!
