Personally, I was upset with the color selection at first, but it's not that bad in my opinion. Galaxy Gray looks pretty good, especially when its tan hue is showing, boring silver actually looks good with the new body, and Honda's extensive collection of Opal Silver Blue photos on their website and brochure show that color looks really good.

Don't forget those Pics!!!!
And I almost forgot; what you think of the HCH once you get to drive it. Share those thoughts "PLEASE".

I'll go with the Alabaster Silver. It's the only other color (except awful white) that isn't too dark.

Re: Colors for new Hybrids
silver is nice but, the interior is black for dash, blue for seats, and tan for the upper part of the doors.
Ivory seats matching the doors makes more sence.
And, alas, silver does not have ivory interior.
White (gasp) does
And, as ugly as it is popular, it's a light color, and has a matching interior.
And, that's what i ordered.

Hi Dqdave:
___Besides the color discussion, you will have the perfect opportunity to give us the side by side comparison (thoughts and feelings) between the Prius II and HCH II. I look forward to your many responses in regards to that as well!
___Good Luck

Not wrong thread, just wishful thinking.
