    Hmm, that red looks like Barcelona Red than Hypersonic Red. Maybe it's the cloudy skies.

    Yeah in the second set of photos, it looks more like Hypersonic Red. It could be just the video quality that made it look more like Barcelona Red. I'm not a fan of Barcelona Red Metallic (although there are people who like reds who do like Barcelona Red). I'm more of a Salsa Red Pearl (dark red).

    The blue is the new exclusive blue colour for the Prime - it's called Blue Magnetism Metallic and it's the same colour shown at NYIAS.

    For reference, Blue Crush is more purplish. You can see Blue Crush on a 2013-15 RAV4 and 2014-2016 Corolla.


    And wow, that's a huge "PHV" emblem.

    Thanks. I am curious about the color choices, but I guess I will have to be patient. I like the Blue Crush more than the new blue.

    If you want my educated guess, Blizzard Pearl, Classic Silver, Blue Magnetism Metallic, Magnetic Grey will be offered and Sea Glass Pearl will not be offered.

    I don't know about Midnight Black Metallic (they didn't offer a black with PiP but I really hope they do with Prime. It'll look pretty menacing with the > < grille and slim headlights in metallic black. I'll lean towards yes.

    I don't know about Hypersonic Red. Just because it's shown in Japan doesn't mean we'll get it. I'm neutral.

    I don't know about Blue Crush but I suspect Blue Magnetism will replace it. I'll lean towards no.

    That red one up there looks like it has the solar roof option.

    Thanks

    If there is no Hypersonic red, I think I will be favoring the silver.

    Geez I hate that Lexus-ized lower grille. Upper grille is a winner, though.
