Mars vs Jupiter?
I see that the 2018 red will be Jupiter, not Mars. I have not seen the two colors side-by-side. (Jupiter is already on other current models) Anyone here want to take a shot at verbalizing the difference between the two? (more orange, more black, etc.)

Jupiter is more....cranberry.
I personally don't like the jupiter color and would be really pissec if they dropped the color I selected and didn't give me a chance to select another option.
We're not talking Toyotas here.

Your response is what I wanted to hear. I'm buying either a '17 or an '18 and Mars red might just sway me to the '17 now. I want more of a red red and didn't think that's what Jupiter was.

Then you can be sure you get what YOU want.....the first time.
It's a personal decision....
However, if future resale/trade value is a consideration, if you press the dealer you should find out that they aren't real fond of red, some shades of blue and yellow....... They like black, white etc. The reason is that those colors sit on their lot fewer days or bring higher value at the dealer auctions.

Actually, I just went to a dealer to see Mars vs Cardinal. He had a Cardinal and a Jupiter (neither a GTS), but no Mars. He said that Mars was close to Jupiter though. Mars is now my preferred red, so it looks like a 2017 is the year.

When you get a chance, go over to your dealer and have them show you the red colors ON ANY CARS OUTSIDE AND IN THE SHADE.

My good friend is a GM at a larger store in SoCal and he has a solar beam yellow he cant give away. Its just such a niche color and the population that wants it is heavily reduced.
