In buying the '04 Aero sedan and '06 base wagon (our #3 and #4 9-5s), I looked at several dozen from Florida to Pennsylvania, to even Texas and California.
And the worst overall were the metallic reds, with the '06 and later color tending to show the most problems. Bad '03s also, a couple.
Monochrome "Imola" red was not normally anywhere as bad, but I think the '01 sat out in the open in South Florida for years before we rescued it. Its paint is one of the worst Imola reds I've seen outside of a wrecking yard. My 1994 900 SE had the same color and it was perfect right up until Katrina took it.
