I'd like to see a red one in the wild. Bet it was a stunner,

Default I'd love to see one in a color that actually flatters the car, instead of the boring colors...

like the 5 R8s at Waterfest, 2 were blue, 2 were black, and one was silver. whoopee...

Default it looked great but it wouldn't be the color I chose...

there are some sports cars that red isn't the best color for... Porsches, Lambos and R8's would be a few of them. The red didn't look bad at all but I would pick white over it in a heartbeat. I think it would have looked even better w/ the carbon side blades (they were red also) as it would have broke up the bright red a little. The LED's are actually what I noticed first, not the color! Damn, I keep forgetting how bright those things are in person.

The day before I saw a Meteor Gray S5 in the same area and just seeing it drive towards me convinced me that it will probably be my next car (unless I can afford an RS5 if and when they come out)! That is one car that pictures don't do any justice, it's absolutely gorgeous on the road!

Default personally, I would go with white.

that car needs a classier color. The red looked nice but almost seemed like to flashy of a color for the car, if that makes sense.
