So I want a red car again, and I was all happy about Race Red, my buddy's Raptor is Race Red and it looks a lot like my old MK5 GTI (yes I know I know, VW...), but then I saw a non-ST focus and the Race Red looks a bit orange or more like brick red. Does anyone with an ST have these same feelings or perhaps anyone in Irvine, CA have an ST that I can look at? The dealers tell me how hard they are to come by and they sell instantly (ya ya, more BS...)
I'm going to go check one out tomorrow during the day and see how I feel, if i'm still on the fence i'll go with Oxford, but I wanted red, like Tornado Red on a GTI
I'm not even aware of that color on a Focus, probably Fiesta specific? The car I was looking at was a Race Red Focus, said so on the sticker (non-ST that is)
I owned MK II Focus with Colorado Red painting (basic red). Now I own MK III Focus ST with Race Red color and imho/afaik it is totally same as Colorado Red painting. Race Red is just rebranded Colorado Red color used with ST / or it refers more to the color of the seats. I live at Europe, but I think that does not matter in this case. My opinion is that Colorado Red paint (Race Red) has a slight tone of orange in some lightning / angle.. as the name Colorado Red would suggest. Most of the time (~98%) it looks nice red without any tone of orange in it
