XC90 Inscription - savile or osmium?

I think so. And by the way I dont understand really the point to have "sport" seats with high side bolster on the XC90 which is everything but not a sport car. Sport contour seats looks nice but, looking to those pictures , only when they are new..

Also it very very easily picks up denim dye transfer. I do have the sports contour seats and I certainly would not say the leather is wearing well in mine so far. I am watching it closely and have flagged it to the dealer. Other points are that the seatbelts are light colour and will probably get grubby pretty quick, also the door surrounding base & pillars are blond plastic and very easily get scuffed.
As my kids are not young, I would probably get the blond again but not the sports contour seats.

Thanks very much for the info - looks like I'll need to have the Liquid Leather in use from early on!

I chose the option as the wife and I sat in an R Design and we thought the seats felt more comfortable than the standard Inscription seats. I wish I had stayed with the standard ones now. We live and learn.
