    Hmmm.. My 86' was red and I owned it for 12 years. The paint was as shinny after 12 years as it was new...

    Love my red but the magnetic gray is just to badass not to get! However they are quite popular.

    ^ This is the exact reason I went with Radiant Red on my '13. I loved my MGM but every other Taco you see on the road is MGM. Both are great colors but I felt like the market was saturated with MGM whereas you don't see nearly as many Radiant Reds.

    You're right...lol. I forgot it's Barcelona Red, not Radiant Red. The red is such a new color to me I forgot the name of the exact color. Thanks for keeping me honest. :)

    I'm only messing with you. Barcelona Red is a real nice color. I believe I'm the only one with the 12/13 Rad Red;)
