Carmine Red Rant - Toyota Yaris Forums

*tomato* · 06-29-2009, 02:10 PM

I think it looks great! Looks like the Yaris fell into a glass of wine ;)

My preference would have been the red that comes with the Yaris Sedan (if you're going with red, that is) but it's not available for the liftback unfortunately.

I think the liftback is small enough that you can get away with almost any color and still have a really smart looking car (although I probably wouldn't get an orange or a lemon color Yaris, but maybe that's just me

)

This Wine / Burgundy color would look great on a Yaris sedan and the other red (Barcelona Red) would look awesome on the Yaris LB.

LOL That's what I had thought when I first saw the Carmine Red Yaris.

It's not a real carmine (beetle juice) color. That's bright red, used in things like cinnamon red hots and lipstick. More like Absolute Red.
