I've narrowed my 2011 color choices down to ...

Kona Blue
Grabber Blue
Sterling Grey

I've always gotten a Black interior, but the Saddle interior is diufferent and starting to grow on me especially now that I see the pics of the one in the Sterling Grey section ... it is 2-tone Saddle/Black rather than "3-tone" like what pops up on the 2010 Ford Build & Price (shows grey door panels & rear side panels).

Anyone got pics of Kona w/ the Saddle interior ??

Thanks,

Doug

Doug,

Not the greatest photos or video, but here's a 2010 GT at a dealer in Georgia. It looks like a great combination to me.

If you've never had saddle before, don't do it now..... just my 2 cents.

My past 3 Mustangs have all had the Black (94&98) & Dark Charcoal (04) interior. After getting used to dark charcoal, the old black is now too dark ... I think Ford made a wise choice when the made this change. Anyway, I was thinking the Saddle would be a nice change ... heck it's just the seats & door inserts anyway. If it were all Saddle, I'd say no thanks.

Why do you say don't do it now ??

Thanks for the link ... that helps.

I've still got to see Kona up close in personal as well as the Gray and there are a couple of the Gray ones within driving distance that actually have the Saddle. One dealer supposedly has the Sterling Gray/Saddle, Kona/Blk-lthr, & Grabber/Black-lthr all on the lot ... all the colors I'm considering so a visit there should help me make a final decision.

Doug which dealer has a Sterling Grey/Saddle?? I'd like to see it...

Bergstrom in Neenah, WI ... has a Prem GT AT Coupe Spoiler Delete & 18" Polished Wheels
(per Ford web site, did not call to confirm it is really there)

Eric Von Schledord in Random Lake, WI was the other one, but now that I look at my list it has the Black-Cashmire 401A interior. What it DOES have is HID Headlamps and I'd like to see this in person on this color, well any color for that matter !! I checked all the dealers between Milwaukee & Green Bay and there are only 5 Mustangs (out of approx. 90) sitting on Dealer lots with the HID's.

Another interesting tid-bit is out of these 90 cars, only ONE has the Track Pack option.

My only concern with the Saddle Interior is how it wears vs. the Dark Charcoal, especially after reading this thread on Cam5 ...

... the Camaro "Beige" leather seats however are a LOT lighter color than the Mustang's "Saddle" so maybe we would not experience this and there is also a good chance that Ford uses a better quality leather.

My FRPP Dark Charcoal Cobra Leather/Alcantra seats have held up quite well in my '04 with over 120k miles on them. These are the 1st Leather seats I've had in a car from NEW and was really curious how they would hold up ... very pleased with them.

Found a Kona / Saddle Premium V6 on a lot at Golf Mill Ford in Niles, IL. Looked at it twice, once at night and once in the morning.

The dealer in Georgia (mentioned in post 2) has 2 Kona GT's on their lot one Saddle / one Dark Charcoal. This is the 1st dealer I've found where they take actual pictures of the cars on their lot and they had similar angle shots of the 2 interiors. I was still on the fence about this Saddle, so I printed these two off on 8x10 photo paper to get a real side-by-side comparison (see pics below). My wife and I both felt the Dark Charcoal just looks better with Kona.

However, I think Saddle would be my preffered choice in a Black, Red, or White car.

Anyway, decided on Kona w/ Dark Charcoal and ordered my car yesterday ...

My .02, I would go black. Having had two cars with tan leather, it shows wear and damage much faster than black.
