I actually work for TMS.....I work in Jacksonville, FL and have seen one of these "Passionate" GS's........the red is much brighter than appears in the photo. I actually wish it was as dark as it shows in the pict, I think it would be better. But the black/red seats are awesome, and the red around the middle console between the 2 front seats, and then the red on the doors is really nice looking!


do you remember what color the exterior was?

nmpeter ................. the GS is in the obsidian black color exterior.
It is really nice looking, but the red carpet was a bit too bright for my taste.

I agree... carpet should have been left black.

Edit: Forgot to say... the red stiching looks awesome! I like the idea enough to consider doing it on mine!
