I've looked at pics of the red on this forum and it does look nice, and I agree, I have a gun metallic car, so I should switch it up with another color. So I'm going with the red (parking lot accident magnet), and if I don't like it, in three years I can get a different one.

Thanks everyone who weighed in, it really did help me decide!

ETA - it's the solid red. I saw the magma red and it looked burnt orangish to me.

sounds like a win win to me.

get the red. im sure you will have better luck with that color than me.

Not yet...I leased because this is my first "real" sports car (previously had a Celica and before that a Laser, both purchased and both driven for 11 years apiece) and I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep it for 10+ years for a variety of reasons (terrible gas mileage, very little cargo space, can't drive in snow without expensive snow tires, etc.). So I'm "trying it out", so to speak. I do like it so far, it's a ton of fun to drive.

that's funny... a guy down the street leased a new KIA sedan (not sure the name, but size of a camry), came over and asked me wat i thought.

well, being polite, i just said i would've gotten the new accord sedan even if it was a tad more.

guy literally returned the car cause the dealer was giving him some grace period to 'try it out' or something. lol

If you want the "fastest" color, go with Red.

I love love love my GM. Although I also love the magma red. The magma red gets a little orange hue to it in sunlight. Personal preference, get whatever makes you go "WOW" more

The Red car and cops thing is real! I got nailed for speeding and i was between two other cars doing the same speed. I get a stare down when passing cops that are just sitting there. A proper sports car color though!

Enjoy!
