General Red too feminine?

[domystevens]

Hi,

I'm planning on purchasing a used Grande Punto 1.4 T-Jet 120 Sporting and really like the New Orleans Blue colour and have previously been saying I'll take any colour except red or orange.

There seem to be so many more of the red Grande Punto 1.4 T-Jet 120 Sporting around than any other colour and now I'm possibly considering getting one or is it too feminine which is the reason I originally said no to the red colour.

I've never seen the red in person so not too sure what it's like. I don't want to make any wasted journeys as the ones I've found to buy are quite far away from where I live.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Dom

i personally love the red colour, with dark wheels it sets it off a treat.

my first one was new orleans blue, i now have exotica red and prefer it.
im sure the forum will agree that red ones are faster, fact.
besides they do look great with dark / gold / white wheels too and that has been clinically proven to make them even faster . so there.

Red fades..... its gay, but I still love my red one, just wish my plastics were still red.....

it does fade, but a full mop brings em to life nicely. mines come up like a mirror

Why do you think the Red is feminine?

It does fade, however my car hasn’t as I keep on top of it. When it is clean with a good clean (polished and topped off with a few coats of wax, it looks amazing. The wax will help to some extent with the UV fading)

Go for Red! J

I just think red is more of a feminine colour than all the others, there's no particular reason. I think I'll end up going for blue as long as I can find one for a good price.

Thanks.

Personally I find white and yellow more feminine than red.

Why is yellow feminine? I'm considering trading the tangerine in for a yellow gps diesel due to heavy mileage( that and the fact I can't find any other colour in a 09 plate diesel!)

I just think its a rather girly colour, just my opinion though

Feminine to me is pink. Not red or any other colour

On a related note I'm on the lookout for a 1.4 T-Jet Sporting in either Exotica Red or New Orleans Blue:

Hopefully something will show up sooner rather than later. :wave:
