    Yeah, so I parked by a friend's Audi TT a little while ago. And everyone came over to look... at the Prius of course. :) I was doing the end-user-Prius-salesman thing for about 10 minutes.

    I must say I trotted over to the Audi though. Very nice curves. Very futuristic design inside too.

    Actually, one of the guys was a motorcycle mechanic. He liked speed, etc. of course but still the Prius beat the Audi for his attention. :D He just gawked at that totally foreign engine and wondered out loud if he had enough skill to even change the oil in that thing. :p

    What struck me about the cars was that the Prius had very family-friendly styling (aka generic) but a lot of cool gadgets, vs. the Audi which had ultra-modern sleek styling but no cool gadgets.

    I'll confess...

    that I almost bought the Audi TT a few years back - bought a Lexus instead. But i'm getting my Prius either this week or next week (long wait over - yay!!) and am so excited! My sig other (who has a TT) was skeptical at first, but we test drove it, he saw it, and now he's thinking about getting one too! :mrgreen: Another convert to the cause!

    Isn't that Tideland Pearl? Looks like grey-green to me.

    It's called: Dolomite Gray pearl effect.
    Saw one in the 'wild' a few days ago. Still love that colour. :)
