Wow that was quick! When I see this USB "shade", I don't like it. It's got a purplish hue to it for lack of a better word... See:

Debbie and Rayaans,

Both black with red interior and the blue with black look great on F-Sport if going for a darker color choice. This makes CorradoMR2 more difficult to choose. :P

Seriously, CorradoMR2, maybe think about which interior colour you find it enjoyable to get into, red or black. After all, you are seeing the color inside the car every time you ride.

For exterior, they require equal amount of detailing effort in order to keep them in good shape.

The black require a lot more detailing than anything else.
Blue and red is pretty much the same when it comes to level of detailing.
Bright colors are harder to keep clean, but doesn't show scratches and swirls as well as darker colors.

Personoally I would choose blue over red, as i think the red will have sort of an "old mas color" look to it when the shine wears of. And the blue look very fresh, almost exotic. Everyone notices the blue car. Noone sees the red unless it shines like new on a bright sunny day.
Also, You live in canada corradoMR2, I live i Norway. Almost same weather condidtions.
If I could get the car with 4wd, I wouldn't be in doubt for a second.

How you canadians and americans can drive in the winter time, without 4wd and winter tires is a mystery to me. No wonder you have so many accidents..
Studded tires and a good 4wd system is the way to go when it snows

You are so lucky to have the option of USB! It is an amazing color and really stands out, I get compliments on my 2IS all the time. I have also owned a black car before and while the USB is difficult to maintain has been nowhere as difficult as my black car was.

That's a very good point. Also as you pointed out to me offline, high-end vehicles and exotics offer this form of color in one way or another such as this Vanquish beauty:
