Default color input - carmon red?
Hi guys, obviously I'm new here. I'm looking to buy an 03-04 C2 or C4s. What do you guys think of carmon red? See here for example:



Thanks for looking!

This is a fairly uncommon color. It looks pretty good, wonder what it looks like in the sunlight though.

Maybe it's just me, I think that red never link to exotic cars.

I've always liked the caremn red. If I bought a new one, it would definately be a contender.

An arena red owner here. Carmon red is similar but with a little more of a brownish tone to it. My friend has a cayman in Carmon red and I love it.

I like it. I've seen it on a C4S, looks great.

BTW, C4S' are great.

Looks good on that car, but sometimes looks like dried blood in the shade.

thanks for the input guys, it seems that most people like it, but I know it's not as safe a color for resale purposes.

"dried blood"--nice...I'm not sure if that's good or bad (I'm thinking bad).
