Same for the show-car white.
None of the cars shown are Red Hot. Red Hot is not a metallic color - it's a more 'pure' bright red.
(think 4th gen Bright Rally Red or Corvette's Torch Red -- versus Victory Red which has a bit more 'orange' to it....)
Unless the lighting is playing tricks -- the 1LE is Crystal Red Metallic.
Red Rocks Metallic is more 'bronze' or 'rust' than Red. When you compare the two side-to-side, you'll see what I'm talking about. I don't believe any of the cars in the pictures are Red Rock Metallic.

Thanks for clarification. The guy I talked to said it was Red Hot, which I have never heard of. Any time frame on the new colors Fbodfather?
