The Milano red is nice, and as some others have said, I would probably select it if I was a few decades younger. However, if they offered the Carnelian Red here, I would choose it in a heartbeat.

Milano Red/Maranello Rosso! I'm thinking a Prancing horse emblem on its flanks would add at least 20 kph to the top end!
Likewise, I'm expecting a new exhaust tip to give it the right exhaust tone (full screen, max volume) >
Honest! That's the way it feels after driving a Prius.

I've never own a car other then Red in my life (I'm 50) Red is just fine overtime. It needs a little more care. Collinite Fleet Wax is an awesome product. Takes longer to apply as you have to use it in a smaller area. I also use Aerospace 303 (Use it on my boat as well)

I live one block away from the Atlantic ocean (Gloucester, MA.) & the salt air isn't kind to anything metal related. My 2009 Red VW Jetta held-up just fine.

Over thirty years ago, back from the oil fields of Iran and Venezuela to attend grad school, I bought a red 911. Embarassed that it was too "loud," I sold it within two years.
Now, well into my retirement, I realize that even for a utility vehicle, red is the only "mature" color! >
P.S. Do you use the 303 on the exterior paint, over the wax? On the plastic "bumpers and trim, etc?"

So true. It's the best color there is. Yes...I apply the Collinite, then use the 303. It lasts about 4-5 weeks.Over thirty years ago, back from the oil fields of Iran and Venezuela to attend grad school, I bought a red 911. Embarassed that it was too "loud," I sold it within two years.

For me, assuming its available in `17, Milano Red is my only Color choice. Very close to the same shade used on VW`s, BMW`s, and Mercedes Benz, its a true "Jessica Rabbit" Red! No Orange tint hues mixed in. Enough already with boring Black, White, and "Fifty Shades of Grey"!

Here in Vancouver, BC I have not seen any Red HRV's - I have a White Orchid Pearl. I have seen the Black, Modern Steel and the Deep Ocean Pearl and a White HRV in the city but only a few HRV's on the road so far - no Misty Green or Mulberry either. I am sure I will see more as they arrive at dealerships now.

Nice black wheels!
When I went to the dealership I was set on getting the blue one, but after comparing the two colors side-by-side, I went with red! I plan on getting the clear protectant coat on my car from someone outside of Honda (I know someone) to help preserve the paint.
I owned a blue 2005 Toyota Corolla before and that paint faded so bad that I couldn't take it anymore and got it repainted. My friend who got his car around the same time as me got that protectant seal/coat and his car still looks brand new.
