Yes, sir, your detective skills are correct. I wanted Race Red with Saddle interior, on a GT Premium. I went in to the dealer (who were great, by the way) in Oct 2011, pretty sure I would order a 2012. Well, a near-perfect Race Red model, fully loaded, was on the lot, but it was a 2011. So my brain starts jumping at the chance to make a deal on this car because it is the dealer's only 2011 remaining, and I know they wanted it off their lot. So one of my caveats in the 'deal' was to replace the Black interior with Saddle. I would have been happy with Ford stock, but they preferred to do a custom all-leather install, with Katzkin leather, including the door panel inserts. This is a significant upgrade over Ford stock, beautifully done, and very soft leather, front and rear. At car shows everyone wants to touch it. I simply love the interior, it is so rich and comfortable. Thanks for noticing! Also, let's see pics of your Sterling/Saddle combination!

Do you happen to remember which Katzkin color you went with to replicate the saddle color? It's hard to tell from the small samples they have at the dealership.
Thanks!

The combination is stunning and extremely-extremely classy to say the least.

Hi Adam. I'm away on vacation for this week and next, send me another message after 7/17, and I'll look for the color name in my car folder.

Hi Adam. Okay, I just came back from the dealer today (wheels/tires). The color is called AUSSIE CANYON. However, in the book, it shows an Ostrich texture. Mine is not textured like that. Hope this helps.
