    Here are some pictures of my car. 5.3l/100km is about 45 MPG. I got that yesterday with an avg speed of 100km/h (=62 mph). Mostly highway driving.

    Your pictures look great...I'm waiting on my Black Prius (should be delivered within two weeks) and I can't wait!

    Yay, pics of a Black one!! I love my black Prius.

    It is definitely strange to look at one without the front end cover. I almost forgot what the car looked like before we installed it!

    I see you have some reflector-thing or something on the front fender, near the door. Is that standard in Europe? Also, I don't have the 4 circular marks on the rear bumper. What are those for?

    I checked no color preference when I ordered mine, but I was happy to get a black one. With the extreme aero shape, it has a darth vader kind of coolness about it. If I see another silver car, I'll puke. White and blue are boring. Red would have been okay. YMMV.

    Black is hot.

    Keeping it clean makes me stay away though :(

    We've all seen pictures of Prii, but we love seeing more! Isn't it odd that we all love this car so much? I know I love my silver cloud (puke your guts out Ron), but I like Black too!

    Is it me or does his Pri look faster because of the Euro license plate?

    (I'll be driving a rental over there in a few weeks, missing my Prius and thanking the heavens that I am expensing the gas!)

    The light indicators are standard for Europe. Required by law. I have a parking aid sensor (an extra option, costs here about 500 USD): it has those 4 circular marks on the rear bumper. People seem to have it nowadays here in the new cars.
