Some Bad, Bad News

I just got the call from my dealer today that si w/navi will be here tonight and I can pick up tomorrow.... but its the wrong freaking color. It was supposed to be a rallye red or a white, but insted its a habi red. I dont know what to do cuz my current car is sold as of friday and i wont have anything to drive. I am going to look at the car tonight, I have never seen a habi in person maybe i will like it. What do you guys think?

I like the Habi red more than the rally. I'd go for it in a heart beat!

if you don't like the habi you could explain your predicament to the sales manager and ask how long til they get your proper car in, maybe they can arrange a short term loaner if there is a short time before your car arrives... it was their fault after all...

I have one. Get it, it's easily the most head-turning color. I promise you won't regret it.

I'd say go for it! It's a beautiful color!!! I almost bought one, but they wanted $3,000 above msrp.

I need a white car...but that's just me. If you're considering a different shade of red anyway, you really should go for it.

That's the same car/color/option as mine. I'll love it. If you want your "original" color, just wait longer.

Hold out and get what you really want...

It took me 18 days from the day I decided to buy a Rallye Red until the day I drove it off the lot.

honestly, i thoghut every color was nice. i coudn't decide. i saw the habi red vs the silver, and i took the red, the silver was redundent. i love my habi red. i'ts so nice. i'll tell u one thing, pictures really dont do justice w/ that color. but taht color in teh sun, and boy will it show u what it can do. try it. i'm glad i took that color over the silver. ralley red looks kinda cheap on taht car. like a toy car lol.

The dealership dicked me over on my Fiji Blue and said they got a hab red in. I really didn't like hab red at first, but when I took a look at it in person it really grew on me. I've had it for a week now and it just continues to grow on me every day : D

It's great because it seems to change shades of colors in every different light... also it's unlike any other types of red shades that are out on other cars.. looks similar but the gold flecks really change its looks to make it very noticeable.

If you're the type to regret things.. may as well stick with your original color, but hab red is def a decent choice.
