I'd get it. I'm getting bored of iPhones so every little new feature will be appreciated. I use a case anyways, so if I start to hate the color after a few months, I'll just use a non-transparent case.
Just on the names for a minute: iPhone 5S and 5C. iPad, iPad2, iPad mini.
It's about time things were made less confusing I think.

That would be more in line with mac naming, and in line with apple removing the unnecessary stuff.
They are so off the trail.
Living here in Asia for the past six years I can add to the idea that this color is primarily for the Asian Market. The Champaign or Gold-ish colors are hugely popular over here as Asians are fashion (think status) crazy about most everything that signifies wealth.
Black or white for me but hey....everyone has different tastes.
A gold option could also become very popular in the middle east. I mean in, say, Abu Dhabi, they even have ATMs where you can withdraw mini gold bars and gold coins instead of money.
Culturally, people from the middle east seem to love gold in general.
Saw a champagne Prius the other day, looked very nice!
What happen to the whole cut down Apple's product line to only a few products... oh yea.. Jobs isn't around anymore
A Prius is ugly enough by itself without needing any help from champagne color.
