Wow, those pictures are gorgeous. I was originally set on the Pearl White color, but after seeing your pictures, it's making me reconsider.
I have been checking with some KC dealers as well and none of them seem to have long (if any) waiting lists.
LOL, I HAD to wear my Prius Genius shirt. I will be a bit more dressed up tomorrow for the official pics that we're doing @ the dealer when I take the 2002 in for it's swap.
I was originally sold on Blue until I saw how dirty it looks w/ dust and swirl marks. The white hides dust and basic dirt VERY well. Bugs on the bumper, now that's a different story.
Is it my imagination or does it seem that something upwards of 80% of the early purchasers who have taken delivery of their '10 Prii have opted for the blue color? Just something I couldn't help notice as the early pictures came in.

You missed my point about the "have already taken delivery." I saw the original poll results...I just noticed that most of the pics being posted by the folks who now have their 2010 Priuii were, in fact, the blue ribbon color. I realize there are a lot more folks on the priority list who have not yet gotten their 2010's and the other colors will be more fully represented. It's just something I noticed and thought I'd mention.
In the brochure that I have, all three interior colors are available ONLY on the Blizzard Pearl. To my knowledge, that is the only color that the Prius gives us all three interior choices.
So, I finally picked mine up. I was available the day after Memorial Day, but I had some loose ends to tie up before I picked it up. It is a winter gray Prius V ATP with dark gray leather. I had a Prius priority order.
YIPPEEE!!! The car arrived on a truck this morning at 9 am. It was filthy, but undamaged. A quick touch-free car wash later....just gorgeous! Black III with misty gray interior. Clear bra to be installed Thursday, window tint on Friday, leather seats...don't know when that will become available. My husband is afraid to drive it tomorrow since the clear bra will not be on. Will probably drive his sick VW Golf instead...just ONE MORE DAY!
