Never heard that one before! There are so many red cars on the road these days that it does not stand out that much. Any car that is speeding will stand out.

i read that red cars get in more accidents than any other color because they focus on the red ¬ the brake lights .mine is winning blue and looked better than red imo

Personally, I don't buy a car without calling my insurance agent first. That way i don't get caught payming more than I want with either the insurance or the car. (obviously, can't buy one on site this way )
I'd just give your insurer a call ...

I love mine. I've owned a red convertible once (mitsucrappi spyder). I haven't gotten any more tickets in my red ones than I did in silver, blue, green, burgundy, etc.
Obviously this is bias, but I think the 8 is the best. Come on.... have you seen one in person?
Just choose the one most appealing to you. Either way it's a great car. Every color is great!!
Do a search because this has been discussed, ALOT.
ps My cousin is my insurance guy & I have 2 close friends who are policemen. Trust me... MYTHS!!

Yeah, the red one also adds 15 hp!!!!!
Just kidding, i know what you mean about choosing between red and titanium. My girlfriend said the blue one looks too much like a toy. I didnt really care for the silver. The black just wasnt me, plus it would be a pain to keep clean!! The nordic green would be my 3rd choice. One of the reasons why I like the red is because there really arent alot of nice red cars, plus you can get the matching interior. But I just like the titanium, especially after seeing brothervoodoo's car!!! Man, for some reason his car (maybe its just the pictures) looks great!! One more reason for the titanium would be that the mod which many people are doing with their grills by puting those silver strips looks nice with that color. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with the choice!!

You don't see any yellow cars on the street. Your car will really stand out. Or people will think you're driving a cab and try to flag you down.
