So who here wants Milano Red back?

After seeing the supercharged Mugen Accord and looking at the Honda UK website, I for one want Milano Red back as a color option in '10. Especially for the V6 which may very well be my next car. So who here is with me? Maybe with enough pressure Acura will listen to us....................or maybe not.

It wouldn't be hard for them to bring it back. They still have it in Europe. Hey, I'll sign that letter.

When I bought my 04 I probably would have gone with Milano Red/black if they offered, instead I ended up with Arctic Blue Pearl/black and enjoyed it.... But I sometimes wonder how my life would have been different if that car had been red

Go to Honda's UK site. They offer Milano red on the Accord (TSX).

Acura has a picture of what looks like Milano red on their website. It really confuses me as to why they have this pic and don't offer it

I wanted to see how it looked with The Beak. Not that it's terribly different...

I think that's their wacky photography making the Basque Red Pearl look lighter than it is. Here's what they show for Basque on the colors part of the site:



And here's a picture that's closer to how it looks in real life.



So Milano Red would probably look like radioactive orange on the Acura site.

Count me in... I would love to replace my 04 TSX MT with an gen2 TSX, but only if they offer it in Milano Red. Here are some Milano Red pictures from the Honda UK website, including the wagon version.

everyone is entitled to their opinion-at least the color is offered in Australia-does not mean you have to get it. (I know for sure you would not but I and alot of others would)

Maybe Colin or one of the others who work at a dealer can chime in here but I always thought that Milano Red was one othe hardest colors to get in the 1st gen. Many times it had to be special ordered.

While I was having my 05 civic getting it annual state inspection in 06 I looked over the acuras they had (dealer sells and services both hondas and acuras) They had at least 5 Milano red tsx's. Most of them were with parchment interior. They did have the exact one I wanted tho. (ebony 6MT with nav). I could not get a good deal from them so I bought it from a Pa dealer. They had to do a dealer trade but I have it (no special order)
