    I ordered 06 Barcelona Red and the dealer tells me that it's in Longbeach port. He tells me that it has Grey leather interior.
    Red with grey interior? Has anyone seen the B. Red with the grey leather???
    Tell me you opinion and should I hold out for the tan/beige/whatever they call it.
    Thanks,
    olcorral
    got a picture?

    Please Please Do!! Or e-mail me some high res pics. I too have a BR/Gray on order. The Carson site shows the BR, but it looks really bright.

    Thanks,

    Its funny how subjective we are about colour. It appears that some find the colour combination of gray and Barcelona Red as odd and others are worried about the problems of dirt showing on the Bisque. Being in Canada we are not able to get the leather at all nor can we get the grey upholstery. Pity as I have ordered the Barcelona Red and would clearly prefer the darker interior myself.

    I've got your pictures right here. They're only exterior shots unfortunately, but I pulled the pics of the Barcelona Red from Carson Toyota's website, from the inventory section.

    For color comparison, the last pic I included is of the 2005 Salsa red.

    Here's the website I found the pics on:

    I think the darker (gray) color interior would look great with this color! The red is definitely brighter than the Salsa, a more orange-ish color than a burgandy. Pretty color! If I wasn't already completely 100% decided on my color choices, this new red would be a contender for sure! :)

    I think I like that color more than the Seaside Pearl!

    Wow, I loved the salsa and was so upset that it didn't come with grey. I decides to go with black on my 06' with grey since I never really got a good idea of what the barcelona would look like in person. After seeing the pics (which Thank You for posting up) it is a nice color but too red for me, the salsa was a nicer 'burgandy maroon'.

    I agree with you , I like the old Salsa color better it looks richer.

    The new barcelona is to bright, I would never pick that color.

    Me three. I liked the old red better. I really wanted one, but was told I'd have to wait at least six months, and Silver was just sitting there, begging to be taken home. The old beater Subaru would not have lasted that long, and neither would my wife's patience...

    Please, don't tell Silver I lusted after Salsa first.
