IRR = How Much Attention Do You Want
Just amazing how much a red sports car stands out. Coming home today I randomly drove with 2 Ferraris, 1 red 1 silver. The red just stood out so much you forget the silver one was even there. One of these days I'm going to get a red sports car

But even she admitted she liked the IRR better than the BRG despite her aversion to "midlife crisis" red sports cars.

Pictures don't do IRR justice. I didn't like it til I saw it in person. It's gorgeous in the flesh.

Nah, these bright colors are subtle.

I have you to blame....It was your pics that forced me to go look at the IRR in person.

You also converted me, and once I've had the opportunity to drive the manual V6 version, I'm thinking there could be an IRR convertible in my future.

Glad you have seen the light, ... sort of. One of the reasons I liked IRR (other than it was calling to me) was everyone else seemed to be purchasing white or salsa red. Would like to keep some sense of uniqueness. Although, given our locations, I doubt if we will be meeting at Cars & Coffee.

You probably wouldn't be meeting me at "Cars & Coffee," even if you were my next-door neighbor. "Cars & Burgers" a little later in the day is more my speed.

Now you see Foosh, if you would've custom ordered your car, you would've had the IRR.

No actually, without having seen it, there's no way I would have ordered IRR based upon a brochure. I probably would have ordered silver because it's safe. I had a choice of a similarly equipped silver car at the dealer, but I liked the white better because it had the light (Cirrus) interior and optional light grey roof. I still like the white, and there is a reason you always see a majority of white cars in the marketing materials.
