Toronto Red vs. Vegas Red pics.

Here are a few pics showing just how much Orange hue Toronto has. Both cars are pretty dirty.

I far prefer the TR that we have, as VR reminds me too much of our 1996 Pathfinder:

Agreed. Vegas Red is very similar to our previous Velvet Red Grand Cherokees. Looks great in the sun when clean, but maroon in pretty much all other conditions.

Those are some good photos of the TR M2 there. My neighbour has a TR M4 and as you've shown the paint is very orange in certain lights.. most of the photos on the Web don't show that

Yes, one reason I like the colour due to the variation. It can be from orange through a bright red to a darker red, depending on the light, sometimes several shades at the same time:

I think Toronto red "pops" more, but they are both gorgeous.

Vegas Red reminds me of Fords Rapid Red, which I had on my Mustang. I like Toronto Red better, but Vegas Red is more of a luxurious color.

It looks very Red indoors and outside looks way different. TR is pretty nice. Put CSL on the M2 today.

Personally, I’m glad both exist. They both have merit and from pics I’ve seen look great!

I assume you mean for the M2😁, Eibachs Pro Kit and 15mm spacers all corners.

Well since there are a few non-M2 pics in here I'll throw in a pic of the wife's new i4 M50 that we picked up today. The Vegas Red is really a stunning colo. I HIGHLY recommend the color 👍

Vegas red looks too basic and too plum, Toronto red reminds me of sports cars from the 90s. Way more fun.

You're right. It's very plum. If you have vision problems.

TR in the sun reminds me of the “forever full” ketchup bottles you find at questionable restaurants.
