Anyone seen the new 05 Ruby Red?
We are going to buy our new TL sometime this next week. The only variable is the new 05 Ruby Red color. If my wife likes it better than the Redondo Red then we will order an 05. Otherwise we will try to get the best deal we can on an 04. We drove around to 4 delears in our area today and saw a half dozen 05 models but none in Red.
Has anyone seen the new Ruby Red color yet? Pictures would be great. Otherwise we will take personal observations. Thanks in advanced!

Viva la differance...
Why are you guy's so into this red color?
If everyone liked the same color then Acura would only offer one color instead of eight.
So far, based on what I'm seeing here, the most under represented color is Desert Mist Met. I can't think of anyone posting here that's said they have that color or talked about it.

I had a Metallic Champagne Civic once and it was same color as DMM. It was a beautiful color and never showed dirt. Someone near my office has a DMM TL and it looks great in that color.
I also saw a Redondo Red for the first time last week and it's really makes you turn to look at it.
In fact there isn't a color the TL comes in that I don't like. When I win the lottery, I'll buy one in every color and choose which to drive depending on my mood.

Acura has it right - as opposed to the Infiniti G35, where there was only two colors I liked. Their black and their dark blue looked pretty decent. I couldn't figure out why Infiniti went with something like 15 different shades of silver on the G35 that even my Infiniti salesman had trouble telling apart.

Disclaimer: In real life my TL was SSM. Guess I'm just not a sporty guy.

On t'other hand, the G35 offers only two leather interior colors - black and light grey - and that's a problem.

This is not to say that the equivalent colors are identical - they're not, not even the black or white - but I wouldn't characterize the G35 color selection as somehow depraved or deprived compared to the TL.

The interior colors of the G35 were a problem for me, too. I definitely wanted a tan color to cut down on the interior heat from the Arizona sun.
In the end, I got a Desert Mist Metallic 04TL - with absolutely no regrets.
