To me it doesn't seem like it's the same shade Rally Red as the evo viii or ix. It looks more darkish and burgundy.

Yeah its more of a cherry red, and appears maroon in dim light. The first time I went to see the Lancers in the dealership was late evening. Laid eyes on the 'Rally Red' and was instantly turned off by its dull maroon shade...

I liked the RR when I saw it in daylight, but it's pretty...boring in low light. The octane blue is a nice improvement over the old electric blue, though. Less purple-y.

agreed, its does look kinda burgundy-like, and very very different from the previous IX's red. The old red was more akin to Porsche's 'Red Guard' or Mazda's 'Velocity Red'. If the X came out with the red on the IX, it would have been my first choice, no doubt.

In person it looks just like the 'Sedona Red' on older WRX'...can't stand it on those cars bleh. I call it yuppie red....see it on alot of SUV's. On the EVO it isn't bad just not as nice like the rest of the colors. And especially in low light looks average. The Blue looks just like the STi blue except it looks far better on the X. For me it's Black or White simple
