I love my magnetic gray Prius. I had a black Ford Focus long ago. I will never buy a black car again. They are beautiful only if they are clean. Other then that they are a pain to keep looking good. My next car was a gray Ford Focus ZX5. Much easier to hide the dirt (err... keep clean.) Scratches weren't a problem. From my experience over the past week the Prius will be the same way. I've received a ton of positive comments on the Prius. I'm very happy with my choice. Have fun with yours!
