Reading the launch information, it suggested it was a special multi-layer paint finish, but is that really the case.
If so It does not really show up in photos. Plan to travel to see the car some day this week.

My neighbour has a Sophisto Grey and it's the only car I see on the road that I ever want...
Otherwise no Protonic Red locally (Dublin, Ireland) so it might stand out a bit.

I say go for it if you like the colour. There are too many grey (mine) and white ones around. I might see you round as I am Dublin myself/living in Laois!
