    I clicked on the poll, ours is a silver / grey 2008 Toyota Camry SE with leather seats and a sunroof. I love it!

    Fully agree, so I got a dark grey instead. Actually, I wanted red, but the missus checked with some monks, some fortune tellers and some old grannies that know everything, and it turns out that I shouldn't have a red car...

    You don't see as many red cars because not as many are sold as other colours.... Surely that answers your question?

    If the Midget came out with bollocks like that, it'd make me go and buy one.

    What tests ?

    You have a link ?

    I can show you many that prove they do, having a dark interior will also warm it up

    my pickup is GOLD

    not my fault, honest

    I just bought it secondhand; apparently the previous owner was a mia noi of some rich bloke who had it repainted just for her (it was dark red previously), he also had special number plates fitted and various mia noi additions

    The vast majority of the heat is sunlight coming through the windows.
    Yes the interior colour will make a difference.

    I used to be the same, but I mellowed... Life has a lot less stresses and strains, nowadays.

    bad luck to have a red car, so I was told.

    Also, red cars crash more than any other colour; FACT!

    Bollocks!

    Green is the most crashable colour.

    Red is the most difficult to keep as new, constant attention is required as the colour fades very easily in the sun. Red coloured coachwork even in the UK suffers from the suns rays if left attended

    I owned a red Mk 3 Cortina (yes, i was the one!) back home in the 70's for 3 years. I have never bought another red vehicle since.

    In Thailand, i wouldn't dream of owning a red vehicle although if one does it's best to have a garage and park it in a multi-storey if away from the house.

    What part of F-A-C-T did you not understand, you should know by now, that on TD, FACT carries great power and unlimited authority - FACT!
