    I've seen this beaten to death other places but can't make a decision. So I'll post and hope no one yells.

    I thought the bisque interior of Prius looked great until I started trying to match it to Clazzio seat covers. It still looks nice. It's just difficult to match. The pictures I can find on-line are mostly of the regular Prius, not the v, which has the dark accent across the top of the door and the black fabric between the seats on the storage door.

    I'm trying to find someone with the bisque color interior, find out what seat cover color combo they got, and how they feel they it matches. Even with the samples from Clazzio, I can't decide. I think I'm down to just going with solid grey or black, nothing custom. The black looks like it'd match the 2-tone appearance of the cabin since other parts are already black. Clazzio grey reads as black though because it's so dark. Clazzio's beige seems a touch too dark. And the ivory is a touch too white.

    I would go with the bisque interior and then possible paint the passenger side in a matching accent color; spread a few potted plants around and there you've got it! ;-)

    We have owned two Prii, top of the line cars, which always were equipped with leather seating. We have just purchased our third, a Prius v Five w-ATP.
    The level Five Prius v is equipped with the new SofTex seating, rather than leather which was standard in our 2006 and 2009 Touring Edition. Instead, we opted for a leather interior.

    Yesterday, I posted the sale of the original BISQUE SOFTEX seating online here.
    You may wish to refer to another area of PriusChat to research my listing:

    Forums/PriusChat Marketplace/Private Sales
    Keep scrolling--the PriusChat site is much more involved than anyone expects.

    You will see in the Private Sales listings:
    12-5-13 FOR SALE: 2013 PRIUS v FIVE SOFTEX SEATING IN BISQUE

    I welcome inquiries and will be checking back later today.

    Also, for your benefit, I had forum postings in September, under Prius v Main Forum, as to the merits of SofTex vs. leather seating. PriusChat Forum members gave their pros and cons for and against SofTex and leather. The thread will give you feedback and help you in your decision process.

    Thank you,

    I forgot my login info, so I'm the OP. :) I went with black to go with the original bisque. Goes nicely with the door trim, dash, steering wheel creating a 2-tone effect. The main gripe would be one of the elastic straps in back is about 3-4" too long and won't hold the seatbelt latch tight the way the original did. And the center armrest in the back was a pain to put on and still isn't perfect but pretty close. That one piece took way over an hour. Other than that, pretty good upgrade for right at $410 (with coupon and discounts), if anyone is thinking of it.
