Are You Seeing Red?

In honor of Valentine's I wanted to post my favorite red vehicles.  Some are sporty, some are cute, they all are definitely red!

 
1967 Ford Mustang
 
 
1957 Chevy Bel Air
 
 
 
1964 Chevy Impala
 
Can you tell I have a penchant for vintage vehicles?
 
 
Meguru Electric Rickshaw
 
I want one of these.  Wouldn't it be great for the summertime?
 
Japanese manufacturer Yodogawa Group has pulled the veil of an eco-friendly rickshaw. The vehicle,  uses three wheels, like every other rickshaw, though with a green heart pumping energy. With enough space to seat three, this compact vehicle uses a single lithium-ion battery, delivering a maximum speed and range of 40 kilometers (25 miles) per hour and 40 kilometers respectively.  The manufacturers plan to add wind chimes to it, to soothe your nerves, instead of packing in an audio system and is made of recycled bamboo.
 
 
 
 Messerschmitt KR 175
 
The Messerschmitt KR175 bubble car (1953–1955) was the first vehicle built by Messerschmitt under its 1952 agreement with Fritz Fend. In concept, although not in actual design, it was an extended version of the Fend Flitzer invalid carriage. Approximately 15,000 were built before it was replaced by the Messerschmitt KR200 in 1956.
 
 
Nissan Figaro
 
The Nissan Figaro is a small retro car manufactured by Nissan. The car was originally sold only in Japan. Despite this, the Nissan Figaro has become popular with owners in the UK and Ireland, given the popularity of second-hand Japanese import cars. Its appearance has a resemblance to the 1960s Datsun Fairlady models.
 
 

  VW Carmen Ghia
 
The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a sports car marketed in both 2+2 coupe (1955–1974) and convertible (1957–1974) body styles by Volkswagen. The Karmann Ghia combined the chassis and mechanicals of the Type 1 (Beetle) with styling by Luigi Segre of the Italian carrozzeria Ghia and hand-built bodywork by the German coach-builder Karmann.
 
 
Lexus LF LC
 
I wouldn't mind one of these.
 
 
Renault DeZir 
 
Or one of these.
 
The Renault DeZir is an electric concept that was first officially presented at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The car is a two seater coupé with butterfly doors, and the interior is of red leather. It features a 148 hp mid-mounted electric motor. This gives the concept rivalry with the Audi e-tron, with 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in just five seconds and a top speed of 112 mph (180 km/h).[
 
And last but not least.
 
 
Red High Heel Shoe Car
 
Cause every girl needs a red high heel.
