I was in the same boat as the OP with the color. My first car was white (good ol' Buick Century hah), then I had a darker Pontiac Grand Prix, and recently a black Civic Si. I was going to do Ultramarine but the red was always a close second for me (I had seen neither in person).

There was a Firestorm Red MT at a local dealer here so I decided to "just take a look." As soon as I got there, she was out in the sun just shining. The red does pop so well, I couldn't get over it. Ironically, my initial reasoning for the red was, "that's a reserved color for the future Ferrari," but damn does it look good in it.

One thing led to another.. and I took her home that day with 20 miles on it. I've gotten so many compliments on the car and color. It truly is one of the best reds I've seen, I only hope it doesn't fade like "JDM pink".
