Congratulations!! We have had ours since the end of June. We could not be happier with the car. The Blue Ribbon was my wifes first choice. We are currently planning about a 3500 mile trip, so we can really see what it is made of. Once again, welcome to the Blue Ribbon group.

Hi Blue Ribbon Group!

Since the brochures and many online pictures do not do the BRM color justice, I thought I would share this link for those who want to see one from different angles and under various lighting conditions.

The pictures are of an XLE, but are otherwise identical to the Hybrid.

P.S. Magnetic grey is also a great color for this vehicle IMHO.

Practicality wins out! My previous vehicle was a blue Volvo XC90 and boy did it attract that heat. I noticed a big difference with my pretty silver TCH. It doesn't try to "cook" me....but if not for the heat factor, I would have gone for the blue also :-)

I have the titanium (silver) TCH. Until I got it I didn't realize how many silver cars are on the road. You're right, tremendous number of Hondas. Part of it is that every company's silver is the same. Some colors, such as the blue discussed in this thread and Jasper Pearl are unique. But you could put my titanium TCH next to a silver Honda and the colors would like identical.

The fact that the silver and desert sand was very common made me and my wife look for something different. Luckily for me the dealer I was negotiating with found me one in 30mins of agreeing to the price. I love the color and do get a lot of stares on my drive to work. I am extremely thrilled to b a part of the blue ribbon gp. The color is unique and so is the car!!!!!

I think that desert sand is hideous. It just screams "i'm old".

No offense DS owners.

I have said it before, and I will say it again...

I had a salesman refer to it as "old man tan".

Mag gray and blue ribbon are still my favorites.

I have a loaded desert sand, but would have prefered the Red. My 05 Highlander is Red. It was the only loaded one available when I bought..It's ok, but bland color. The Blue ribbon is too dark for our Tucson sun, and I have had WAY too many white cars...
