    Great poll. I picked winter grey but with the help of my friensd here, changed my mind to blue metallic and very happy I did. Kind of like ordering vanilla ice cream and changing your mind to spumoni to live dangerously :)

    $220 is well worth Blizzard Pearl. Have you seen it in person? It's a 3 coat paint process vs. 2 w/ the others. It's a creamy white with a metallic layer and a peralized clear coat layer.

    It is a rather popular type of color w/ many manufacturers where I'm at though.

    From the day it was announced, Blizzard Pearl. It is a much nicer pearl than other manufacturers in that imo it is whiter and has less of that yellow off white effect to it.

    And the $220 extra is peanuts for a pearl coat compared to other manufacturers.

    +1 on Blizzard Pearl comments, but voted for my sandy beach, since I couldn't stomach the thought of owning 2 white cars.:cool:

    Have not been thrilled with the color choices on HyCam or on 2010 Prius.

    Rick, You're tantalizing me with the Blizzard White. I currently have a Lexus RX; Pearl White. It has the Platinum molding all along the lower area. I love it because it not only looks good in this two-tone color imo, but is so darn easy to keep clean. Just doesn't show the dust, light dirt,or swirl marks. And in a sunny climate as FL, not much of a solar-catcher.
    But from pics of the '10 Prius, Barcelona Red is striking my fancy as #1. And I do favor bisque interior, although the Prius is a lighter shade than my ideal. But - I sure will consider Blizzard as well.

    Are you serious? It's like 1% of the total cost!

    Most charge $1200!!

    Cool, one less person that'll have the same as me. ;)

    Really though, like Pat said, you wouldn't get a color you would have ratherd have because of $220? They are charging very little for their pearl white, compare other companies.

    Having had and currently owning, Pearl white and other shades, I just don't like being charged triple to fix paint damage for that process.

    I can't recall my insurance company ever asking what colour the car is prior to quoting the cost of cover.

    Just like how I chose Black as my colour on this poll, but now wish I could change my answer to Blue Ribbon since that's what I ended up with! I'm in love with my colour, so no regrets. :)

    What made you change your mind? Did you prefer the color or was it a matter of availability?

    Without doubt the best color for hot and sunny climates.
