As I've seen the GS evolve over the years.
-one wood option 93-01, 2 leathers (no black believe it or not) 93-97
-98-05 different wood for Sportdesigns only 02-05, 3 leathers avail. Saddle is the 4th with SD
-06+ 3 different wood options depending on leather
-3 different leather options
-different options offered in Japan "ooooh, we don't we get that, its awesome"
-then the usual "Lexus needs to offer different and more bold interiors"
-amazing Lexus listens, brings "Passionate black" something that canot be confused with any other car
-its still not good enough

Reminds me of the IS-F. Lexus gets snapped on for not being bold and daring. The IS-F has bold colors, interiors and styling. Then the same people say "its overdone, the stock IS looks better"

Sigh

Even though that pic is not very clear, I think it's very nice, can't wait to see one in person ...

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

yeah. i don't like it.

i'd rather take white/black 2 tone- all white seats with black plastic trim

hey, my pal just picked up a GS350 AWD yesterday with this set up. the dealer here called it the "redline" edition, tho. but it's identical to this passionate black. it's pretty sweet, tho
