    (first and only color choice. Would have accepted a lighter interior color, but was happy to get my first choice of dark grey -- for the same reason mentioned earlier by the person with a terrier: I don't want my leather color to be shih tzu paws)

    Will you be able to tell geography from what you get? My hypothesis about Prius owners is that they tend to be more rational than the general population (though not without strong doses of emotion, which comes out in a lot of places in this forum). This would suggest to me that as you get further south, lighter colors (reflecting the heat) will become more predominant.

    When our friends are all parked in front of the house, I'm the lone spot of color among 2 white cars, 1 silver car and one beige car. Go me!

    White is by far the easiest color to take care of and with the addition of "pearl" makes it classy. That being said, I always had a soft spot for black cars in the past, nothing looks better than a black car that has been detailed correctly = no swirl marks.
