I caved and decided to go with the Amazon Grey.
I'll miss you Crimson Red, you are gorgeous too.

I think red would be ok if it's a garage queen. If not and you get a lot of sun those ultraviolet rays eat away at red. I had a red Porsche for about 10 yrs in CA and pictures of it new versus when I sold it were different. Red fades over time in the sun and it wasn't that dripping wet brilliant red color it started out as. A lot depends on where you park it and how you care for it.

I bought the amazon grey at the end.
Sun is not a problem in Raincouver and it's garage kept.
Reason not to buy the red was the chunky plastic black at the bottom of the doors, arch made it look cheap.
 
I didn't find the black plastic lower trim all that high end looking either on the red. This will fix it when the weather gets a couple degrees warmer. Says 15 degrees C to install (or 60F) Hyundai Tucson (SUV) | 2022-2023 | Exterior Trim | #HYTU22RIK
That's pretty cool. I don't think its for me, but they appear well built and decently thought out. I'm still curious if there was a reason that they put those red reflectors on the back wheel well but not on the front. I mean maybe too much and maybe yellow for the front, but I haven't even seen any in the aftermarket.
 
Red rear reflectors are required in Canada and the US as well as front amber although they seem to get away with the amber in the front light assemblies. I bought the side mouldings that say Hybrid instead of Tucson and it looks like it will class up the sides. Not sure yet on the fender trim but bought them when that were on sale so will see what it looks like without them before I install.
