That is red!

That C-pillar treatment bugs me every time I see it. Besides the lousy visibility out of that upsloped door sill, it just looks awkward. On a small suv shape, I wish they could have tried a shape more like the RR Evoque, where the body line rises and the roofline slopes down to the back slightly. Plus a functional quarter window back there. A Volvo-like vertical rear end with the roof spoiler.
