I agree, but I also agree with eci on this. The more pics of the 2010+ interiors I see, the more I'd rather have the 401A. In person, I think the interior looks great, but in pics the 400A seats/door panels look kinda cheap to me. This doesn't help the thread at all, but I was just thinking today that I would get the 401A interior in black/cashmere, then have the seats and door panels redone in a King Ranch style leather, which REALLY looks like Saddle leather, a bit weathered and tarnished. I think it would be great for the Mustang, especially in a darker shade closer to brown. That with Sterling Gray or Atlantis Green would be the ticket for me, but I'm not afraid of spending money on the interior to get it exactly the way I want it...

Well, I'd love nothing more than to have some Recaros as an option, then the color choice would be a moot point

I agree though. If you're doing a Premium, you need to do the 401A package or the car just looks lacking in some design.

And, as I said about saddle, I think it looks cool, but not something I'd want to live with long-term.

I agree. I was all gung-ho over Saddle, and I think I'm over it now haha. I do like the Brick Red, but I think the same thing, I'd get tired of it. I think I would seriously go for the 401A, then have the seats and door panels redone in a darker brown, weathered "saddle" leather. Oh well. Too bad I won't get a chance. Hopefully once I'm back on my feet, I may look into a Raptor or a Taurus SHO, although neither of the cars will really satisfy me.

I was at a car show ... Guy had a 1970 Mach 1 ... Metallic Gold with Ginger (Saddle) Interior ... it looked awesome.

I ordered the Stone interior with my Kona Blue convertible. I saw the combo and it is beautiful.

The fox body guys call it "Porno-Red"!

Of course on most fox body cars with the red interior, it is ALL red, not just the seats and steering wheel.

I actually do. I built one on BnP like this and quite liked it. It would be very unique and patriotic! It would look even cooler as a vert/Glass Roof car so you can see the interior more. I think I'd like the red interior more if the steering wheel was black though.

With Kona Blue I would have to have a grey interior with supple leather seats - in grey. Not red, not saddle, not charcoal/black.
But I'm not seeing that Ford offers the option.

The steering wheel is an easy fix. I like the fact that Kona is very Metalic. I would love Black w/red but don't have as much time as I would like to keep up with it.

The white with red seems classic mustang which is why I like it.

I hate decisions. lol

Talking

Just so you all know I ordered mine already-

Kona Blue, with Glassroof, and Black with Cashmere Interior. I'm so excited about my car being built and all!! If you look at the brochure and have been in these cars to see the difference between the 400a, and 401a, yes there's a big difference in my opinion. The panels with the chrome Pony's are just plain nice. The darker aluminum panels look really nice as well, and the aluminum shiftknob feels just so right in the palm of your hand. Not to mention the black with cashmere seats just brighten up the inside of the car- and are really nice. Black with Cashmere goes with a lot of colors. The Blue Grabber Stripe goes perfect with a Grabber Blue car, which I almost nearly went with..

It's due to be built May 31st- My cars Birthday!

I thought Saddle was going to look really good, but I don't know after seeing it in person. They should have stamped WILSON on the head rests - it looks like you're sitting on a big football.

Not a football, a baseball glove.

Yeah I thought football sounded funnier. I guess a glove makes more sense. And Mizzuno.

I really like the saddle interior, there is a video on youtube of a Kona with saddle and it looks really good.

You could not get the Brick Red w/ Kona Blue in 2010 but you could get it with Red Candy ... for 2011 it is just the oposite.

Makes me think one of these brochures is wrong, 'cause I find it hard to believe that the Ford fashion police made a color combo mistake in 2010 that they felt the urge to fix in 2011 !!

I don't know, no telling with Ford, they sometimes have their heads up their wazoo. 2010 you could get grabber blue with stone interior, which I think looks really good, but for 2011 you can't get that combo. Really stupid...
