Default 2008 Crystal Red

Anyone wondering what this color is - search online for pics of the 2008 Cadillac CTS and almost all the pics are a CTS in Crystal Red (89U)

You mean these? I hope it's a case of "the pictures don't do it justice." I'm not impressed so far and still wish the Magnetic Red was available...

It's going to be just like DSOM, looks great in the sun and really pops, but looks faded and old in the shade. Too bad, thanks for the pics though.

My exact feeling on Monty Red.

I bought the car in the afternoon and after seeing the color I went from V Red to Monty Red. Oh I just have to have it!!!

Took it home and that night looked at it in the garage and said to my self is this the same car?

Sorry Anthony, but I don't feel the same way about Monty Red. No other color, not even LMB (which by the way is my favorite on the C6) can offer what Monty Red does. That being different GREAT shades of a great color. Still love that color and wish they wouldn't have replaced it with Crystal, which so far seems might only have two shades, bright in sun, dull in shade. See ya next sunday at the the block, if you go.
