I believe Barolo Red is a new color for 06. Haven't seen it on anything yet. I'm sure it would look good on the car.

I've seen barolo red in pics -- looked good...but I don't think that you can ever tell about a color from a pic. Have to see one in daylight on the ground.

Saw one at the dealer a few weeks ago. I thought the color looked amazing. Especially if you tint the windows. :v

I don't think this is a new color for the 06 line up. I have seen it in previous year model. I have the Mars Red and it's hot.

Barolo red reminds me of the Bordeaux Red -- which, although not my cup of tea per se, actually looks quite good on a car I think:

The Bordeaux Red on my 1999 W202 is holding up fine. I frequently get compliments on the color.

Bordeaux Red looks good on some car...but generally towards the older crowd.

pictures here do not do the color justice. It has lots of metalic gold flakes in the paint that make it sparkle under the light. Very nice color.

Not a huge fan of it - kinda dull looking IMHO. Now Mars red is rather hot ..the second best colour.










After Diamond Black Metallic of course
