    I voted Impulse because that's what I have, but in person the colors are pretty close.

    Barcelona is far superior. Impulse is too bright and "plasticy".

    I used to like Radiant Red back when it was in production, but now I would say Barcelona Red... it also depends on what type of sunlight you see it in.

    I went with Impulse when I bought mine.

    Always felt that bright red attracts too much police attention.

    I like the impulse red especially on the older tacomas. If the impulse came with the sport package I would of gotten that instead of silver. The new barrcelona red is so much better then the radiant red they had. I don't like radiant red at all.

    Impulse looks like a heavy flow day and Barcelona looks like a dog wiener.

    I love the Barcelona Red. It almost changes color depending on the light and angle.
