Red is also an aggressive color, which is why people in red cars "typically" get more speeding tickets. It's not because the car is red, it's because red involks anger.
Try this: Paint your bathroom red - keep it for a month - notice if you become slightly more aggressive in your everyday life, driving, etc. If you do- then buying a red car, or even a car with red interior wouldn't be the best idea.
BWHAHAHAHA!!!! That's just a bunch of
My SVT also has some red interior as well and I'm the most calm person ever...I've never once felt the need to evoke anger in my vehicles due to the redness.

Go check out a psych class - I'm taking my second one in January.
I suppose that Blue/blue guys on this board get fewer tickets than Red/red? Should automakers call the high end of the tach 'the blue Zone' or the 'peaceful pink zone' to prevent people from driving in anger?
I don't look at my carpet while i'm driving, does anyone else?
I love my all red interior. I told the dealer I'd take the very common silverstone color, but only if they could get me one with red interior (red exterior was the other option). I admire it everytime I see it, I havn't tired of it, and the hoops look great through the rear glass when the top is up. It's different, but I get so bored of the mono-black treatment so common in sports cars. Silver/red, white/red are awesome classic combos. I'll post some pics as soon as I get some decent ones.

I have and I'm not denying that red can mean anger but for you to point out that, "It's not because the car is red, it's because red involks anger," when referring to getting tickets, now that's BS...As VTECorona mentioned, red is an eye catching color that will more likely grab an officer's attention than let's say, a green vehicle.
I love my red interior with silver exterior. In fact I love it so much I am getting the same color combo on my C6 convertible. That said, I do not like the all red interior that they did for a while. When I bought mine in 2000 I would have gone with the black interior if Honda only had all red. No offense to those with all red, but it's just too much for me.
To the person that said red will turn pink over time. I've had mine for nearly 5-years with no sign of pink...
I could have got a Sebring/Black for sticker, but I paid $3,000 over to get the red interior. I also had to call about 20 dealers in SoCal to find it. About 8 of the dealers had Sebring/Black, but only 1 had the Sebring/Red combo.
