Default GS in Red

Why doesn't the GS come in Red? I know it comes in burgendy but I'm talking RED RED... I think it would look pretty hot...

I think the GS would look good in a red red.


Solar yellow? That's just silly

Why is the Yellow silly, and not the red? WOuld I have one as a daily driver? No. To each his own. I think it would look sharp. A bit more sporty. IS3? M3? Ferrari? Porche? Corvette? I just like a bright yellow vehicle.

that yellow was ment for that ferrari, it is just that some cars don't look good in same colours. don't you think Lexus did a colour study before debuting the car, the yellow and extreme red prob didn't do well do they didn't release it. there are so much factors that people don't think about.

Really? You think so? Toyota/Lexus did some marketing research and used that data to come up with their colors for the GS? Get outta here! Wow! Thanks for the info dude!

I like yellow, but it just doesn't fit a car that is luxury first, sport second. imho

This is one of the baddest first gens i've seen......RED LOOKS GOOD....just not probably on a stock GS. Can you imagine this car with factory wheels and without a body kit? it would look terrible. I've seen the same with many cars. i.e. yellow civics that look hella good...but if they were still in stock form-it would look like poopie.

I agree. Although, if the GS wasn't my only vehicle, I'd try the color out.
