    Very true, but I LOVED the blue when I bought my IV ~ although blizzard pearl was my second choice. Now I have my second choice color on a much better model. I'm beginning to really like the blizzard pearl more every day, especially when I see it in certain lighting. :)

    The Prius V is the more manly Prius - bigger tires and all. :D

    Ah, the dilemma between 15" and 17" wheels on the 2010 Prius. I have a simple solution ............

    205/55- 16" tires on tasteful 16" alloy rims. They would look fab on the 2010 Prius.

    This tire / wheel combo would be a great option for a III or IV (I've been saying this for a year now). Chance of that happening from Toyota is about .01%

    I know the following is not an eco statement, but ....

    The 15" wheels / tires kinda bring down the look of the 2010 IMO. The body size has grown but the wheels have stayed the same.

    The 17 inchers look a wee bit too big on the Prius and the 45 series tire is quite a short sidewall. Could probably fit 205/50 -17's fine on the 17" wheel though.

    I didn't make the 16" size up ... they are found on all Honda Civic DX thru EX's.

    Oh no, because I'm a female. :eek: Maybe the pearly white color softens it a bit! ;)

    No worries, I was just kidding. ;)

    Of course, if you really wanted to soften it up, you could paint it light pink. :p

    LOL!! I'm really in love with my Blizzard Pearl now that the sun is shining again ~ the iridescence is so awesome in the right light! :)
