Copper crest is a sweet color. Not something you see everyday. I think I’ve only seen one so far.

 

I enjoy a nice red. I would have got my BMW in metallic red if it was available. It wasn't, so I went with a color that makes sense in the desert, white.

 

Saw a red new Prius the other day, its good looking for sure.

 

Saw a few at the dealership of course. They look ok, and from what I've heard from owners who have them, people keep marveling to them just out of the blue about how gorgeous it looks. In the end, I went for pearl white on white interior (macadamia/bamboo), and was looking far and wide for one. Was even thinking of shipping one from CA.

Anyways, I'm sure such a color would stand out beautifully in a parking lot filled with the usual whites, blacks, and gray/silvers.

 

Well, here's a copper crest 5th gen RX...it supposedly does look orangey in a certain light.

 

I saw one walking into the office yesterday. It looks nice, but I don't think it matches the RX well. It's a nice mature orange

 

Are they not selling many of the current gen Prius or has the requirement to hypermile in the left lane been lifted? I usually see gen 2s and gen 3s going about 54 mph in the left lane on the freeway. I have only seen 3-4 current gens in the wild.

 

Supply limited in many places. I have heard owners say they waited months for theirs.

Here in central FL, none of the big dealers had any when I was looking to see one a month back...though I finally did see one just before it was sold.

According to a sales guy in one dealership, most come presold.

ps. And my wife goes 75-85 mph on the left and middle. Then again, she doesn't care about mpg. I keep speed limit on the right.

 

Yeah, I read someone says it looks like a copper penny.

Speaking of unusual colors like that dark blue one, I would actually buy this color on a 5th gen...screw being ho-hum and boring white/black/gray!

 

Yep....Lexus, IMO, does that copper-color better than any other manufacturer.

He's a shot of it in the sunlight:

 

I do like that color.

I've already said it, but the new Prius looks great, and is the first Prius that I think even looks good. It's still not my kind of vehicle, but I can recognize the styling being a home run.

Maybe if they stuck a 350 hp powertrain in it.

 

Is your BMW Arctic White or Mineral White Metallic? Both look good on the 5 Series IMO.

 

I passed 3 on the right today lol

 

I don't follow the Prius too close so out of curiosity I looked at 1st qtr. 2024 sales and Toyota sold 13,327 +138% in the quarter.

 

Sig says Alpine White. Same as my E90
