Have you compared this to a CT200h by any chance? I'm curious as to what they [real world] perceptions are when comparing usable space/passenger comfort & drive-ability are...

Yeah good value with this car.

I had a CT and loved it but I can't own the same car even a few years later since I like the novelty of a new car. CT is an excellent daily driver. Best fuel mileage (got 50 MPGs in summer), easy to park, great to run errands and ample cargo. A little tight for a family but was adequate for my kids at back on occasional short trips. Power was OK, but who is speeding in a hybrid? Defeats the purpose...

So I wasn't convinced with the dark metallic gray grille I painted last week, so now made it gloss black. It's better to my eyes and I'll keep it for now, though admittedly, I like the stock lighter gray too...

Nice !!
I do like another grill color other than the factory grey.

Here's a Japanese black one:

and the Japanese chrome one:

^^^Yeah, what I do like about the gloss black grille on a dark HS is the chrome surround pops with an interesting spear-like shape and hints at the future spindle grille.

I like the look !!!

Plus you are trying all the new types of paints I have picked up to look at in the store, but always been to afraid to try !!

We'll see how it holds up to a snowy Canadian winter, though !!

Thanks. I've used both paints above in the past and they hold up well but are a little less resistant to rock chips than factory OEM.

A mirror-like shine after a much-needed polish!
