    Isn't he cute? I love how Priuses smile at you. I named him "Anubis" after the Ancient Egyptian God of Change and Mummification. :wub:

    Look I made a Club image we can all use:

    Hey, this is my first post! I registered for Priuschat.com just so I could be a part of this club. I got a Magnetic Gray 2007 Prius as a graduation gift. Perfect for my commute from my first job out of college, to happy hour and back home...Cheers!

    Whooooooaaaaaa!! Gorgeous Prius! Those wheels are really sharp :eek: . Got my 07 Mag Gray yesterday so it's still stock all the way around, although I did get the paint protection package and it glitters like a diamond. Enjoy!

    Im in.
    Have had magnetic gray Prius for 3 weeks now and am avg. 49-50MPG.
    Had Classic Silver cars in the pass, such as the 280Z in the avatar and a Lincoln Continental.
    Must say I really really like the MG color. Wish I could have found a Touring with MG in New England but couldn't.

    harperlee here, san fran bay area,
    wanted blue then saw mag grey. "greyling" is very very anti-cool. these cars look like ticks, thn you start to love the look. just had 1st road trip to seattle and back. very comfortable, great mileage, no prob with mountains. love this car. so glad i traded the jetta wagon. about to order bumper guards. how long should they be? what about corner guards? are they the same thing? should i get door guards? or side moldings? what is enough to protect the finish? a big clear bubble?
    thanks, grey folks

    yesterday coming home across the golden gate bridge driving my mag grey there were suddenly 4 mag greys in a row, behind one another, as if it were intentional, a caravan. the orange of the bridge, very nice with the mag grey, all zooming along.

    I finally decided to call mine Maggie. For the Magnetic Gray it seemed to fit. Got my first 5000 service. Still running like a champ :D

    Then only thing now is that I have the dashboard rattle :(

    Checked the dealer web site Monday night and they had nothing on the lot. My daughter and usually stop by when making our rounds so we pulled in Tuesday afternoon and I said "sorry they don't have any" to my daughter when she shouted "there's one!" Sure enough sitting there all alone was a Phantom Gray with package 4....1.5 hours later we drove it home. I'm not sure why they titled it that color. I called my wife at lunch and told her that I still love my car. We drove it up North after work and she turned the monitor off because I kept announcing the mileage. Can I join the club??? B)

    I just joined the club yesterday. We'd been looking for a touring pkg 6 in gray since May. Finally decided it wasn't going to happen so we started looking for other cars (diff colors & pkg options). Yesterday, my husband found a mag gray, touring, pkg 3 that the dealer had already installed leather on - picked her up last night. Am loving this car!!

    Just picked up my 2007 Magnetic Gray Touring Prius tonight -- I had a Driftwood Pearl that (unfortunately) I totalled last month. Couldn't live without my Prius! Love the Mag Gray and love :p the touring tires (much more control and much better ride!). So, can I join the Club? By the way, what's the consensus on tire pressures for the 16 inchers on the touring model? I used to keep 42/40 on my 06 Prius.

    I'm soon to be IN! I just placed an end of model year order for a 2007, magnetic gray (best color on a Prius), Touring, package 6 with XM to be installed at the port, last Sat., 8-18-07. The little gem (currently on the boat), should be arriving between the dates of: 8-27-07 and 9-8-07. Hope that I have it before Labor day. That would truely be a LABOR of LOVE!

    PS: To Robincx ... I really like the wheels and the shark fin look on your Prius. What are the wheels' brand, style description, part # and where did you get them? Thanks in advance for your reply or anyone else who knows the answers. I was thinking of NOT putting the standard wheel covers on my veh. and just going with the alloy wheels. However, the gray alloy wheels by themselves IMO ... just give it too much of a harsh, hard or edgy look.

    Robincx's signature says his summer wheels are Scion TC 17", Nexen 3000N 215's. If you go there, be prepared to take a MPG hit.

    Actually your car influenced our decision to purchase the Mag Grey!!!
