Edit: Oh, so I was wrong? What??? Pool, source?

Apparently this question was asked in a prestigious exam for civil service and their stance is that "red new car" is more correct than "new red car" because according to them "new" is more important than "red" as far as the car is concerned so therefore new should come near the car.

Was there more context to the question, Pool? (Like what Whateverist mentioned above?)
