    Just curious what color everyone is getting if you had your first pick. I am undecided between winter grey and red.

    On a similiar note, did anyone take some good hi-res picks of the black and grey cars at the driving events? There are some greats pics of silver, red and blue cars around but not many at all of the white, black or grey. Thanks.

    I ordered a Prius V with Navigation and Advanced Technology in Blizzard Pearl with Dark Grey leather interior.

    I've seen pictures of the Blizzard but they are of a European model. If anyone, even Toyota ;), has a picture(s) to share of a US model in Blizzard Pearl I'd love to see it!

    I have a Prius IV w/ Solar Moonroof in Blizzard Pearl w/ Misty Gray interior pre-ordered. I initially had chosen Blue Ribbon Metallic, but decided to swap at the last possible moment due to heat concerns and how the car looked when dirty. I compared a Blue Ribbon Metallic HiCam @ a Toyota Dealer to a Blizzard Pearl HiHy and was sold on the luster of the "off-white metallic".

    On other Toyota models, however, Blizzard Pearl is a popular color in AZ.

    As for photos, they didn't have a Blizzard Pearl available at the driving event, so no up-close photos.

    Prius IV w/ Solar Moonroof in Blue Ribbon Metallic pre-ordered. I would like to see some BRM photos, too, but blue is my favorite color, so I'm sure it'll be sweet ;)

    For a while I was bouncing back and forth between the Classic Silver Metallic and Sandy Beach Metallic, but since my wife has a similarly colored gold car, I've decided to go with the silver. Am also hoping for the IV (model 1227) package with no other options.

    I have the Blizzard Pearl Package IV (1227) , Dark Gray leather, Solar Moonroof preferenced. I was originally going with Blue Ribbon until I saw the Geneva pictures of the Blizzard Pearl.

    This feels like a copy/paste from the "other" thread/poll we did in the "other" forum.

    I can't decide between Winter Gray Metallic and Classic Silver Metallic. I'll just have to wait till I can see them in person to decide.

    I like red, but wife can't stand the bright red--would rather had the "salsa red" of a few years ago. Next choice was the medium blue which is no longer offered. :-(
    We have ordered the silver with the light grey leather. I also liked the tan, but current 1996 Lexus LS400 is tan and wife wants a change. Ah, the many sacrifices of married life!! The Prius is a big change from the Lexus--hope we will be happy.
