I am about to buy and am wondering what to expect.
Knowledge is power.
I am curious which colors are in more or less demand.
(In other words which you can get cheaper)

There are 5 colors.
Please rate them with highest demand first.
Here is the list, in no particular order:

Taffeta White
Magnetic Pearl
Alabaster Sliver Metalic
Opal Sliver Blue Metalic
Galaxy Gray Metalic

If you don't have opinions or experience on all 5 at least say which you feel is most or least in demand.
(Not necessarily what YOU like or dislike.)
Opal Silver Blue Metallic.............More-Of-These; then the ones below less of them
Galaxy Gray Metallic...................Next
Magnetic Pearl...........................Next
Alabaster Silver Metallic.............Next
Taffet White...............................Next

From the List above I think the more that there are the (Cheaper) but I have to also say that it is I (Really-Think) as Far as Price goes is going to come down to the Dealer and what will they do, (Regardless-Of-Color). I have read on this Site all kinds of different Prices from the different Dealers and I would have to say (IMO) that Color really (Honestly) has little to No-Effect on Dealer Pricing. Meaning it's more just the Luck of being able to find a Dealer that is willing to sell you a Hybrid at a (Reasonable Price) without Knocking your Head-Off.

If you have read many of the different Threads here you would soon find out that the Members that have already taken Delivery have Bounced all over the place on what they Purchased the cars for. The ones of us that have the HCH ll on order and taking delivery after the 1st of Jan. are also paying all different Prices for the car.

I think it more comes down to where you live in this country and as an example of that, California Dealers appear for the most part to get a Premium for the Hybrid because of the Much-Greater-Demand there than in some other states. Not to (Beat) this poor Dead-Horse to death but I do-not think color has really any bearing on price, it is more to do with Location and then the Dealer you end up with and how much Profit They will except on the Hybrid.

BTW: This may be way more information and opinion than you ask for, Sorry
