Interesting....
My neighbor saw the car up close for the first time last weekend and he asked me "is that candy apple red?" I don't think so....

Doesn't surprise me.

I think the Velocity Red paintjob is pretty amazing up close. It is very rare to see a factory paintjob with fairly large gold flakes in it like the VR has.

Still trying to decide between Velocity Red and Sunlight Silver.

Well, that is the way that I am leaning right now, which is a switch since Sunlight Silver was my number one pick before.

Doug, you have a Blue 8 but your avatar is a pic of a Silver one!?

I got S. Silver, but I WISH I had bought the V. Red
Think long and hard before you decide! I didn't want to get the red because of police :p

Well, I HAVE been thinking long and hard! For two months now, and I STILL can't decide!

But I have narrowed it down to the SS and VR, so at least I have made some progress.

Do you not like the SS any more, or is it just that you prefer the Velocity Red?

I was first interested in the Nordic Green, but it is too dark. Next looked at the Yellow (throw-back to my younger days). Didn't like it; though in all fairness, the car was dirty. Picked the Titanium, but then my wife said go for the Red. I did and, though I have never thought about owning a red car, was very happy with it. A couple weeks ago I saw a shiny Yellow on the road. Now I am convinced I made the right choice.

The silver is BEAUTIFUL! But I love the car so much, that I now want to be extra flashy! :D
I've never liked a vehicle as much as this one! I miss almost buying the little, red, sports car :o

I see. So you are just a vain, flashy, exhibitionist, eh?
