i keep looking at the interior in diff lighting. why doesn't it seem like cabernet. don't get me wrong, i like the interior and so does everyone else that has seen it. to me cabernet should be like a ...... shade of burgundy. shouldn't cabernet be deeper than red but lighter than burgundy?

 

okay..... found an answer to my own question. there are 2 categories ,, Young Cabernet and Old Cabernet. the cabernet in the 2013 GS-F Sport is the old cabernet. it's funny how there are diff colors (8 in all) 4 in each category .

 

cabernet is better with age. stop worrying about the interior and put a joe-z exhaust and some vossen rims on her.

 

It doesn't look like any Cabernet I've ever seen, more like the Red Rocks in the Southwest, but it sure is sharp!

 

You got me interested. Here's an article I found:

Red Wine Color Variance

What To Look For in the Color of Wine

Color

The main color of the wine is toward the center. Again, the value of the color can tell you how old the wine is. Commercial and value driven wines tend to lose their color pigmentation much more quickly (2-4 years) whereas a wine that is designed to age takes 10-14 years to start changing color. Wines that take a long time to change color also take a long time to develop and taste better after years stored in a cellar.

Secondary Colors

These are the other hints and hues of color in a glass. In white wines there are hints of green or straw. In red wines there can be hints of orange, brown, magenta or brick. The secondary colors are typically found in the rim of the wine as it goes towards the edge of the glass.

the old cabernet has 4 diff hues, our cabernet is the oldest in that group.

 

So, it's basically like vinegar.

 

Basically

 

I like cabernet but I like chardonnay too.

 

OK, from a pure "wine" standpoint, Cabernet is Cabernet Sauvignon, and is a deep purple. Older Cab develops a bit more of a "brick" color, and most Bordeaux wines have some amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, or Cabernet Franc, plus can have Merlot (also a fairly deep red), Petite Verdot (usually darker red) and Malbec (medium dark red).

Burgundy (red) is Pinot Noir, which is almost always lighter in red. As it ages, it becomes much more brick-red, but is still a bit lighter, and usually thinner, than Cabernet Sauvignon.

Now, when it comes to colors in autos, there is a great deal of latitude, and that might, or might not have any relationship to the colors of wines.

I have been catching up on old episodes of Seinfeld, and this thread reminds me of one.

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

 

you actually watch that show??? that's a waste of electricity.

 

point taken... but i did however find the cabernet in a wine that is very close( and i do mean very )to the cabernet leather seats in our cars.
