    Hmm... the car I have now is a silver and I'm not the best at keeping up with cleaning the exterior. I'm just not sure I want silver again. The gray is OK looking. Any other color suggestion? Blue? I've never been into brighter colors, but the blue seems nice.

    Has anyone determine if the c has the same FE meter dependency?

    We're working on it with urging from alfon and myself. :D

    It appears to be under 5% (GenIII) but higher than 2% (GenII) but we don't have enough data yet.

    I did see the dark grey and did not like it....was originally going to get red, but a black came available sooner...and I like black...just a lot of work to keep it looking good!

    The car looks absolutely great. Most people don't have a clue how to keep a car looking new. Very few colors show off a shine as well as black or very dark blues, etc.

    If one enjoys detailing and takes pride in one's ride, black is certainly the way to go. I have just ordered the same color. Should have it in a week.

    I haven't been to PC very frequently since I traded my Gen II in a couple of years ago. Might still be a photo of ol' "Quasimoto" in an album here.

    Long story short, I'm back in the Prii family (although a notorious black sheep) and with another black beauty.

    Again, car looks spectacular. Congratulations.

    Looks great! I traded in my black car for a silver C3. Kind of miss the black (even though it was a pain to maintain!)

    The Prius C has paint protection on impact areas so that should help it look newer longer.
