Matador Red + Flaxen
We walked into the dealer on October 20 ready to buy. There wasn't a single Matador Red with Flaxen interior anywhere in the US or on any of the boats headed to the US. All the red cars had parchment or black interiors, didn't matter what trim level, or model, none matched for that combo.
So we ordered what appears to be the first of its type. Scheduled to be built Monday.
When should we expect it at the dealer in the Seattle area?

This was the exact same color combo I was looking for back in July when the car was released and had the same problem you had.
I ended up with white on red instead just because I couldn't wait at the time. They said it would have to be a special order and could take 3 months...but i wanted the car now.

Congrats! Very nice color combo. You also have the luck of being in the Pacific Northwest. In the Northeast we have to wait 3-4 exra weeks for our special orders...something about the Panama Canal detour, etc., etc.😊

93 days after order, it's here, we took delivery yesterday afternoon. Had the dealer check inventory, still no other Matador Red / Flaxen in the US. We think it looks great and everyone at the dealer liked it too. The manager said they were going to order one for inventory.
Pics later today.

When we started the whole car shopping thing were liking the GS F-Sport in Red w/Flaxen. But the GS was just too big. If we could have gotten the IS F-Sport in Red w/Flaxen, that would be in the garage instead of the current White w/Red F-Sport.
