    Well I didn't see an existing thread so excuse me if it exists. I've seen some other threads for one color. Now it's red's turn.

    Let's see pics of your barcelona red Prius! I get mine in 6 days so I'll post my pics later ;) In the mean time, this should help me survive:D

    In 2006 they ran low on red paint so they had to apply less to each car and so we ended up with Barcelona Red instead of the Salsa Red which all real Prii sport. :p

    Does that explain the thin paint too? ;)

    Anecdotal evidence to be sure but I think it does present the opinion that Salsa Red was the red color Toyota intended and that Barcelona Red was an accident or an afterthought. Muahahaha

    Ok, sorry. I shouldn't pick on the Barcelona guys. :)

    No pictures yet. My 2008 Barcelona Red Prius is on order with Option Package #3. Dealer says maybe end of this week or next week. I'll post when it arrives. Everyone likes different colors on cars but red and dark red are for me. Can't wait to get the car. Owned many new cars but this is my first Toyota.

    Barcelona Red is a much prettier red than that icky Salsa Red with its orange undertones.

    Mine is red. I tried to like it. I really, really did.

    But I feel like I need to wear a leather shorts outfit with fishnets and thigh boots when I get in it. :(

    A nice green or blue.....

    What chrome did you add? I saw some chrome door pillar covers on ebay but they didn't have a good pic. I wouldn't mind adding just a couple chrome pieces on the sharp red car...

    C'mon guys, let's see more pics right in this thread!:D

    Still less than 1000 miles and headed for my second fill and I love it. I went looking for something in blue #2 but all the dealer had was red #2. Hey, I can live with that and now I love it. Oh, right, pictures. First, look to the left for thumb. For a bigger view: Forkner Home Page.

    No mods except to turn off that annoying interior back-up beep. I planning a write up entitled "First 1000 miles, what I've learned". I hope you all will find it interesting although it is a little long. Read: I learned a lot.
