i could be wrong but...

I think i saw a royal ruby on 610 South..today... hmm.. this maybe hard to understand..but my thoughts were that it looks just like the ABP..but red... it's got that bright and dark combination with the color flipping.. it looks great.

Are you guys sure??

The only red that was available on the TL is the Firepepper Red, and it's not offered on the TLS..

Or is this just a TX thang??

If this Royal Ruby color does indeed exist.. that would be a hot ass color!! :wow:

Yes, I'm serious, I've been wanting a car in this color, ans when I saw it listed on a car site explaining changes for '03, I was excited! I will ask my local dealer I have his business card in my wallet.

Ruby Red color

According to the 2003 brochure, the Ruby Red will replace the Firepepper Red on the TL-P in August 2003. It is not planned for the TL-S.

another sighting???

come to think of it during lunch today I did see a deep red TL on going eastbound on 635 in Dallas. Not sure if it was a TL-S as it was far up the street. It wasn't the close to the firepepper red color as my wife has a firepepper Accord coupe.

I believe it's only for TL-P

I'm looking at the 2003 TL brochure and it says that the Redondo Re Pearl will replace the Firepepper Red Pearl in August 2002 (p.29). However, it doesn't place a symbol in front designating it as a TL-S color, so I'm assuming it's only for the TL-P

I'm not sure how close I am in that photoshop guess.. but we'll have to see, the salesman claims it will be on the TL-S... so we'll see.
