    Welcome to the Red Prius club! Well, there isn't one that I know of but there should be.

    Bought a Barcelona red touring myself last week--still discovering so much about it.

    Best wishes!

    Thanks for the warm welcome.
    I would say the Red caught both our eyes ( wife & I ) Went in looking for the Blue seen the Barcelona Red had to have it.

    Mid Life crisis kinda thing I guess..lol

    Well again you guys / gals have a nice RED Prius also so here's to the RED Prius Club begining..
    Cheers

    I too bought a Barcelona Red 2007 Package #2 two weeks ago. My color choices a month ago were black, Mag. Gray, and red. After seeing all 3 colors in the lots I knew red was the perfect color. I got a great price also... with every call I made to negotiate the price came down $200. Helped alot since I made over 10 calls to many dealerships.

    HI Craig. Great choice in colors. We've had our Barcelona Red beauty a week tomarrow. Reluctantly traded my beloved Ford Fusion for it but already I can see it's twice the car my Ford was. By the way, Mine's a base with package #4. Hope you enjoy your toy as much as I am mine....Terry.

    Terry,
    I am sure you will not even miss the Ford after time goes on, I was a Ford man and a Jeep fan.

    I just hope this first winter does not sway me back to the Jeep.

    Good see hear of another Barcelona Red Pri

    You are now a member of the "RED ROCKS CLUB" so what if it's made up!!

    Hi Craig. I'm safe for the winter as my second car is a Jeep Liberty. I don't drive it anymore than I have to as the Prius gets three times the mileage and is alot more fun to drive . The "Red Rocks Club", that's good.

    Welcome to the forum.. I too own a Barcelona Red one. I've had mine about a year now and love it. You'll be happy to hear that the red ones are faster while using less gasoline. The owners of the red ones are generally better looking and smarter too. B)
