Default India-red type colors seem to be in this year

I haven't seen an India Red A4 in person yet, but it looks like several other carmakers have come out with a similar color this year. In addition to the VW something-orange color that's been on Golfs for awhile, I've recently seen a Mercedes SLK and Isuzu Amigo in a color like this. Will this take over like the wave of Cactus-green-type colors that became popular a few years ago (like the "Isle Green" of my 94 Integra)?

At any rate, I like the color and would be intrigued to see or get an A4 in it. But then again, I also liked the '96 Autumn Red and the current Brilliant Yellow.

Default Wait a few months and you'll be able to see my Avant in India Red.

BTW, the Golf color is Tropical Orange, and I believe it's almost the same color.

Default Re: Beware of trendy colour

While colour is subjective and I respect everyone's own choice, be careful when picking too trendy colours.

Classic colours (black, silver, racing green)tend to have greater resell value and generally easier to sell.

But that shouldn't stop you from getting what YOU like.

India Red looks cool and rare, much rarer than my Aluminum Silver 1.8T. Frankly!

My GF has a Laser Red 1.8T. I only saw 2 of the same color A4s on the street for the last 3 years!

I was refering to it as being a classic color, not trendy.
