- All PMMs with red cases are stand-alone models. Most of the red cars are compact.
Those who want to make bright accents in the interior of their kitchen should choose PMM from a modest assortment. Most consumers prefer white, black and silver cars, red lovers are much less - obviously, this explains the meager choice.
