Has anyone seen a 2006 Barcelona Red

I've seen two. One was indoors on the lift getting prepped, so I didn't get a good look. The other was in daylight, parked next to a Salsa Red, so I was able to make a good comparison.

Of course, it is impossible to describe in words, but I can say it is definitely redder and brighter than Salsa Red. In bright light, to me Salsa Red seems similar to Barcelona Red (unless they are side-by-side), in shadow Salsa Red looks maroon to me. The Barcelona Red is brighter in low light, that may be because it is metallic and reflects better.

I was told by one dealer that Lexus has the same color as Barcelona Red, maybe you can look at a Lexus.

btw, the Scion TC offers Classic Silver Metallic if anyone want to see that color.

I like Barcelona Red, and have ordered it, too!

 

Carson toyota may have one, see http://carsontoyota.com/html/special.html.

Talk to someone in fleet sales, they seem to know more about the Priuses than the "under the tent" guys....

 

SOFSOF,
I did the same thing - - - ordered w/o seeing the color. Plus, I am going for the leather package that comes in either grey or tan/beige. Dealer told me that the car is in Longbeach with the grey leather package.
Not sure I want the color combo.
Anyone seen or have pics of B. Red with grey leather???

I e-mailed them and wanted to buy the 06 B-Red gray they have. I don't live in California, so I said I would fly in and get it. They refused to sell out of state, and also wanted 2000 above MSRP. Oh well,,, :huh:

 

From the pics, it does look a little brighter than the Salsa... almost like a lipstick red color.

 

Try las vegas they will sell to out of state people and some have no extra charge.

 

I saw it last week outdoors, on a sunny day (in Seattle no less) and very close to a Salsa Red. I would agree with the person who described it as brighter and the person who likened it to a lipstick red. It is more orange and less maroon. Personally, I liked the old red better, but the new one is fine. It's not too bright like some reds out there. As for the upholstery, the one I saw had the "bisque" in cloth. I would prefer the darker color if I were choosing, mostly because of concerns about keeping it looking clean (but I have kids). the bisque looks more like a pale beige or cream color in real life than it does on the Toyota website. Good luck with you purchase!

 

The red looks cute! Like a cherry red. But for resale value it may be best to stick with black or silver. It's a shame Carson adds $2000 over MSRP. I have my deposit down at Longo but I would be willing to get my car elsewhere if it was sooner but not for extra money.

 

Hey... your trying to steal my car! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Thanks for the report on the Bisque... I was wondering about that!

 

Just saw the Barcelona Red. Wow! Bright! Happy Red! MUCH brighter than salsa.

It's a cloudy day here in KC... not good for picture taking. i will be back at that dealer tomorrow and if it's better outside... i'll see if I can get a photo.

This car had the Bisque cloth interior. NOT very impressive. But then, I'm not a Red on Bisque fan.
