Red or Grey Exterior?

[gameboy]

Red or Grey? Looking for pros and cons. I'd be ordering P85+ with pano, grey wheels, CF spoiler, and plans to tint windows. I've downloads pics of red and grey cars from here and view them constantly and I still can't decide. Maybe it's because the pictures of red and grey aren't very good at times and that makes it difficult.

I've had both, kept the Red.....

 

[gameboy]

fiksegts, your pictures are the best and have me wanting red! What are your pros and cons comments of each color?

 

[MaryMartin]

Red looks awesome!
In my opinion you should go for red .

 

[Argelius]

I wish they'd made the signature red a permanent color...just a bit more understated than the current red that screams "look at me!!"
I went with Gray.

Sold the Silver and bought the Red so I voted with my wallet

I’m guessing you might not rank this aspect that high up, but the red probably makes for a more visible car. Perhaps the red could save you from being rear ended by a distracted driver one day.

See for example:

And as it were, that car hit by the truly giant Geländewagen driven by a sixteen-year-old appears to be grey…

And just in case you would happen to be so inclined… Pearl White or Silver will reflect more sunlight

Silver is also a practical color from a dirt accumulation point of view…

I always wanted the red, only bought the grey so I could have a Model S while waiting for the red to arrive... can't say there are any pro/cons of either aside from I really like the red/grey...

Red or Grey? Looking for pros and cons.

The red is beautiful, but attracts policemen.
The grey doesn't show much dirt, but nobody wants to look at a grey car anyway.

I had the exact same dilemma not so long ago (not the P85 tho) between the red and grey, and in the end I went for .....green!

I have the gray and love it. But if I were to redo my order today I'd get the red, it's so beautiful.

I couldn't decide between the 2 colors, went back & forth hundreds of times in my mind & even went to the service center see the 2 next to each other, I am glad I got MC Red.

Signature red is sexy. Red is going to show every scratch, blemish dent etc, just like black.

I've found the multi-coat red hides the dirt pretty well ... unless it gets filthy.

We have been pleasantly surprised to see that our multi-coat red does a great job of hiding dirt. This is our first red car and we totally love this red and have received so many compliments on the color.

The multi-coat red is gorgeous. Would have ordered that if all our other household cars weren't white.

Go Red!

Red = Look at me! I'm sexy and I know it. (The car, that is. I have no delusions!) I'm embracing my middle-age crazy.
Gray = Hmph! I'm so cool I can be discreet. AND I can look different colors in different light. Adore me.

I have red and it is awful, shows the dirt, really,flashy,sexy just down right bad, bad, bad. No redeeming qualities at all. Do not get red. I will have to sell mine if everywhere I go I see red!!!!!!!
