    I used to like the red, but to me it doesn't compare with MGM.

    I don't believe that anymore since red cars are not nearly as common as white silver or gray. Red just gets noticed more.

    OP, here are both of my trucks side by side so you can compare...

    [​IMG]

    If we are just talking about paint, I don't miss the red fading anymore. Even waxing it every 6 months, I had to get the door handles and fender flares repainted after owning it 3 years...I prefer the new color and the new truck hands down. Can't compare the two.
