Not the most popular, but certainly not rare or anything. If you look at the production numbers across the years, there are 10's of thousands of Magnetic Red C5s out there. I've seen at least 3-4 other Mag Red cars since I bought mine a few years ago.

I asked a similar question a few months ago.
I have had my 04 convertible a little over three years, and have yet to see another mag red like mine.

9334 convertibles, but I don't see anything that indicates # with tan tops

Here's your total for that color

Kind of a geezer color combo, isn't it?

Not really - it is a beautiful color on the C5. The mag red color wasn't in the top three colors, but it wasn't the least favorite either.

My 04 is Magenta red with light oak interior, may not have been the most popular with everyone else, but it is the most popular with me and that is what is important. You see a few, but not many that makes it unique in my opinion.
