Go ahead, spice it up.
We love red sole shoes, red lipstick and red roses. And, we love red cars and red interiors. Red catches our eye and makes our hearts beat a bit faster. It feels fast, fresh and rich, even when we are not.
Honestly, a white car with a red interior might be my forever combination. However, a rich, velvety red exterior or one with a foil-like gloss finish definitely sways me. Red paint makes me smile every time I glance out the kitchen window, or as I see my car approach the valet drive when I’ve asked to retrieve it. No matter the car, red brings its lines and curves together in a way that no other color does.
So for your Valentine’s Day dreaming, we put together our favorite red exteriors and interiors. Because true love should last all year.

Red Is the Perfect Winter Accessory
There’s nothing like a red car to chase the winter blues away. White, gray, silver and black simply fade into the winterscape. But not red. And it gleams even as you dig it out from under the snow.
