Apparantly some guy here in Vancouver has one? Touring edition?

Link to pics

In Canada, the blood red interior is only available in a Touring Special Edition (a $5,200CAD upgrade package), but Lexus USA is offering it as a $200USD option! They’re calling it the Interior Accents package, here’s how it breaks down:

* Dark Gray bird’s-eye maple interior trim
* Perforated Red and Black leather-trimmed interior with red contrast stitching
* Black leather-trimmed steering wheel with red stitching
* Red interior carpet
* Black carpeted floor mats with red Lexus logo

I’m thinking an Obsidian GS 450h with this interior would pretty much be my perfect car. Time to start counting my pennies!

P.S. Sorry for all the exclamation points. (Thanks Eddie & Harinder!)

Update: The Passionate Black interior is $200USD on the GS 450h, $810 on the GS 350, and $410 on the GS 460.

if this is standard on the GS, i'll gladly pay to NOT have this weird mix of red and black

*btw, this google ad is funny as heck: This forum is sponsored by the all new 2010 SRX Crossover by Cadillac" LOL

no, you are not the only one. i have a hard time accepting the red carpet; but i'd love to see it in person, just because it is so unique.

You are not the only one. It looks like ISH. I think its hilarious that some people think this car is sporty enough to pull this off. LOL . Its a 2 ton luxury sedan. There is nothing sporty about it

Default Pics of passionate black interior at my dealer *huge pics*

I was at my dealer dropping the gs off to get the dash clip bulletin completed when I saw a '09 gs350 with the passionate balck interior aka the interior accesories package. I aso took a pic of the window sticker. The package costs $810 on the gs350. Overall, now that Ive seen this interior in person, honestly Im not a big fan. I like my ash interior way better!

Probably relating to the clips that hold the windshield in place. They are the source of one of the rattles.
