That red MK7 doesn't look great to me either...
Having said that, a mate of mine has an Edition 30 in Tornado red and its absolutely stunning. He minds it like a baby and its one hell of an eye catching car. I had a "blue graphite" MKV GTI, a rare enough colour, which didn't photograph very well at all. Always looked more Elephant grey in photos! But in bright sunshine after it was waxed it looked absolutely stunning too.
You really need to see the car in good lighting conditions to make up your mind on a colour.
