Apparently Honda has to mine this paint from the deepest Diamond mines of Africa, because they don't seem to have enough of it, or be able to produce more of it in a timely manner... I had to pick something up at my dealership today and sure enough, there were 3 '06 hybrids on the lot with Navi's, none of which were magnetic pearl, as I still drive around in my '04 loaner waiting patiently for mine to come in... Just venting...

As you can see, Mag Pearl is probably the most popular color -

Honda may have underestimated its popularity.

It's a really nice color. You'll be glad you waited when you get it...we weren't sure if it was worth the trouble of trying to get that color but we were glad we did.

I think its the most attractive exterior color but when combined with the dark blue seats its too dark and monochromatic for me. I chose silver since i like the contrast between the blue and slate interior.
