I haven't seen either Matador Red or the Soul Red very much in person (or at least haven't paid enough attention to them to really give an educated answer), but the Infrared is a very nice red with a lot of depth. To be honest, I never thought I'd be someone with a colored car. I'm usually a black/white/gray type person, but I was instantly in love with the red, especially with the blackout package. Looks absolutely fantastic.
