I've loved red cars since forever, to me there was no other choice but Firestorm. If I did want to get blue though, I think the BRZ Blue Pearl looks amazing.

You're colorblind. Raven is the obvious choice!

Firestorm attracts more attention. Ultramarine blends in somewhat until you get a sunny day and then it absolutely pops. It depends on what you are going for. For me, as soon as I drove the car, I couldn't wait to just get it. I had thought that I would try to find an Asphalt, Ultramarine, or Hot Lava, but, I said to myself Firestorm looks better in person than in most pictures. So when I got mine, it was a decision to wait months or have what I wanted now. I chose the latter. It is hard not to fall in love with this car regardless of colour.

Ultramarine. I wasn't too fond of the firestorm when I saw it and the ultramarine is just awesome in the sun.

I LOVE my ultramarine, gets lots of complements and in my opinon makes this car a little "classier"...and the biggest thing is it reminds me of the interlagos color available on bmw m3s.

and for how good it looks on nice days it looks even better when its overcast!

Who told you that mess? Almost every modern buick I've seen has been some shade of silver. Here is a classic blue buick.

The red is nice since it "matches" everything. Your car will basically be red and black which is pretty sweet.

But I do have to say I have a love/hate relationship with the style of paint they use for the red. I really like the "shine" of the other colors. Isn't the red like non-metalic?

Red is also a cop magnet.. there have been a couple times where I was glad I was 1 of 10 silver cars going just a few miles over the speed limit

I kind of agree with that. There was a red FR-S parked next to my car and it was only a little dirty, but it just didn't have any shine to it. But at the same time, I've seen other FR-S's that just have an amazing shine. So I'm not too sure if it's the colour itself.
