If you absolutely loathe any degree of orange then yes this isn't the color for you but if you like a red that can look dark red in dark settings and pop bright in the sun then you will be extremely happy with this color. I got way more paint complements of my TR X3M than I ever received from my LBB M2. In fact the only other vehicle I have owned that got more paint comments was my Grabber Blue Mustang in the day.
I totally agree with you, although I haven't managed to view a vehicle in TR, I have taken the dealer metal display sample and looked at in various light conditions. As a colour it varies more than any other standard metallic I have seen, but I see that as a benefit. Different hues of slightly orange-red through deep bright red to slightly brown-red, depending on the lighting. This variance in colour convinced us (my wife likes orange hues) to specify TR over BG or any of the other colours offered.
