Welcome, and good news for you. As far as red vs. black, me, personally, would go with black. I swore my next vehicle would be red like the rest of mine, but I, speaking for myself, didn't really like the Compass in red, and I think the black Rallye would be awesome. Kind of gives it a classy look, not like it needs much help in that department, but black looks good and it looks great on the Compass. As far as the car looking gay, well can't say as I agree with that one. Granted, it doesn't look like your "typical" Jeep, but there is nothing gay about it. Too bad some folks have to resort to that type of thinking, when it actually sounds like they might have something to think about, lol. Anyways, good luck.
