Color Question: Have Color Options Changed?

[Genesiswannabee]

I am considering purchasing a 2010 Tau V-8 in Titanium Silver with the Saddle interior option. Has Hyundai changed it color option in 2010. Is the Saddle interior all Saddle color or is it Saddle and Black. From the Hyundai website it appears to be Saddle and Black but it is hard to tell. Which part of the seats are Saddle and which part is Black? What color is the leather wrap on the dashboard? Has this changed from 2009? Is there any difference in color between the V-6 and V-8 option?

Does anyone have any pictures of their car in this color combination that they could post? Any comments on this color vs. Cashmere interior?

Thanks.

I have saddle interior and only the seats and the leather wrap is saddle. Everything else is black right down to the carpet and dash.

Ashdump,

Do you have a 2009 or 2010? Were there any changes made?

Sounds like a stunning combination of saddle and black...How do you like it?

I actually bought my car used from a private party. The guy told me that he ordered the car from Hyundai and took like 3 weeks to get. From what I understand though, you can not order cars from Hyundai and maybe the original owners dealer sourced one from another dealership. I'm not 100% accurate on that though. What I do know though, was that the original owner wanted the saddle leather and he got it.

The saddle with white exterior and black carpeting is really stunning. I have yet to see that color combination yet. As for the '10/'11 I have no idea what they will be offering.

I took some pictures of the inside of my car with my cellphone last month for someone else asking me about the saddle color. You can take a look at them if you want. They are in my album. My car was dirty and the camera didn't take good pictures, but you'll get the idea. I plan on taking some quality pictures of my car soon though. When I do I'll let you know.

Interesting floor matts! They look pretty durable.
Where did you get those!.

I bought two sets of "all weather" floor mats from BJ's Wholesale Club which is like a Costco or Sams. Each set came with 4 mats.

The Clear mats are for the winter and Black mats are for the summer. I cut the driver side mat to fit. I just outlined the OEM mat and cut the rubber mat with scissors and utility knife. Each set of mats was $19.99 and are extremely thick and durable.

I live in New England so we see all types of weather.

Based on conversations with Hyundai USA and the Northern Region you cannot special order a car. Korea makes whatever they like and does not consider USA advertising campaigns and/or feature cars on the website.

Also saddle interior is difficult to find. It took 5 weeks before I got my black with saddle interior which is absolutely stunning. THe dealer has specifically requested additional black/saddle and has been told they are not available.

My preference is V8 with Tech with White and saddle and I have yet to see one on a dealer's lot.

My car is Pearl white, with saddle interior. The dash has a swatch of saddle in the center...very classy looking. I will take some pics to post for your viewiing pleasure

I have always owned white cars and now have a graphite interior. Although I like the black, it shows dust constantly. After seeing the saddle, it is very rich looking. I just hope they don't play with this combination for 2011 when I will be ready.
