I'm sure I've never seen an old woman that color.

やりすぎだ～

...but an old woman named Carmine?
I do like the color, but beetle juice red would be a more appropriate name :) perhaps |

I think that it's not that bad of a color. I'd get that over the Jolt Yellow (what ever it's called).

I'm mainly shocked at how different it looked then the pictures on Toyota's website. Maybe it's illegal to discriminate against color blind graphic artists.

It would look good if it didn't have that hint of purple in it. Toyota should change it to Mahogony or Maroon for 2010

I make sure to look at a color in person before buying. If you don't like a particular color, don't buy it.

I love the color, especially when the sun hits it. We have a 3 door in the color.

I think its a great color, but I agree with the sentiment that it really doesn't look like what its advertised. The color in brochures and even in pictures looks quite different than in person, especially on a sunny day.
At least it does to me, and I'm not 100% sure why that is. I look at it as the more subtle red color, kinda like what Bayou Blue (  ) is to Blazing Blue

I love that color, the only reason I got the Meteorite Metallic is because thats all they had left on the lot, and im not picky at all about color.

I like it... I think it's kinda close to my school's color.. first time I saw one, it had gold rims and i really thought it was some die-hard alumni (since it was an old lady driving it lol)
