I see that in 2006 Torch Red is gone from the line up and will be replaced by Colorado Red. Does anyone know what this Colorado Red will look like. If someone was just wanting a bright red should they go ahead and get an 05 and not take the chance of missing out on a bright red in 06? What do you guys think?

I'm guessing the Colorado Red will be like a non-metallic Redfire although just a little bit lighter. If you wanted a bright red, go for the Torch.

Cool, I was just wondering if it was more or a red-orange color. Or maybe even something closer to Performance Red of a few years ago.

Colorado red

This is VWs version of colorado red, Its kind of a dried blood red. Nice though. Edmunds.com has all car colors on all models listed.

I have a colorado red vw passat and it is very similar to redfire. Just a tad bit lighter. I has it sitting next to a Redfire stang and the stang is just a bit darker.

I am not too sure that I am a fan of the colorado red then if it is like that VW. However, I am guessing that they aren't the same. Most colors differ with different manufacturers. Thanks for the info. If anyone runs accross another picture or something I would be greatful.

GO COLTS! (Had to throw that in there Mike)

Scroll down and you will see Ford's version of Colorado red on the Focus. Lighter than Redfire and I think I like it better than Torch.

Clicky!!!!!


Oh and go Ra... oh, never mind, they stink. Go STL Cardinals!!!!!!
