Good leather is also extremely rare in my experience - I've never seen it in a German or Japanese car at all, even the very expensive ones.

The GT2 trim in the Stinger has some pretty nice leather. It's not the same stuff they put in Bentleys, but it is a nice place to sit.

Lol, yeah, lemme just take my new car out of commission for a few days/weeks while someone has the interior redone. After paying for a new car mind you. I mean, I'm sure good, high quality leather feels great, but that ain't what the majority of cars are getting in them. I'd much rather take a mid-teir cloth seat over the cheap pleather most cars use. And this may just be a product of living in the south, both southeast and southwest, but most people I know hate leather. It's nice to be able to get into a car and not burn the poo poo out of your legs because the seats are 150*.

My S2000 is my first car with full leather. It's cool outside of the thing where it's a convertible with a black leather interior...

Leather is great on my living room couch, it is bad inside my car. On of my favorite things about doing the whole importing JDM thing is it locks me to a time when everything was cloth, super nice since I too live in the south. Breathable fabric is cool and good.

I like good leather seats Like the stuff that has a deep grain and is more than a millimeter thick Like Venetian, Nappa, and Bridge of Weir Not the stuff that looks and feels like vinyl that is in most cars. Wool looks and feels amazing, velour feels amazing. Tweed looks amazing, feels terrible.

I enjoy leather because it doesn’t get wet from the skis, the dogs, after a bike ride, etc. Pleather is also fine.

My 03 suburban has leather but I can’t tell you if it’s real or fake or if it’s high quality or cheap. It has held up with no tears for almost 300,000 miles, and its real easy to clean up wether it’s dirt, food, drink, whatever. Does anybody know if that baseball-glove-like leather that they put in the Overland trim level Jeep Grand Cherokees a real upgrade in quality or just appearance?

Its dumb that cloth/leather is not optional in every package. its literally 2 recliners and the rear bench seat. its not like other components are dependent on the trim selection of the seats.

Good leather is really nice tho. My wife's LS has amazing ventilated leather seats. Ventilated seats are like a cool cushiony cloud from comfort land and I love them. The Protege5 I had years ago not so much, the black Mazda leather was poo poo and it gave me swamp rear end in the summer.

Its a luxury car that understands that sometimes being understated is so much better than trying to stand out. And I love the concept of wool seats, they look like they'd be so comfortable. Laserface posted:Its dumb that cloth/leather is not optional in every package. its literally 2 recliners and the rear bench seat. its not like other components are dependent on the trim selection of the seats. Yeah, this is what gets me. They already have the seats, so why can't you pick and choose what you want in the car. Package options are dumb. Like, on the Ford transit vans you can pick what options you want, and it gives you the choice between vinyl, cloth and leather seats with any options. All cars should come like that.

I mean, I mean, if you saw one on the street here in America, its not like it would really stand out. It's not like it tries to flaunt things like a Rolls or a Bentley. The interior is what I was talking about anyways, I mean, It's got fairly plain looking seats and materials covering the sides. It's not coated top to bottom in diamond stitched leather or having every corner crammed full of faux-wood trim. Maybe it's just me, but this doesn't jump out to me as something that would be a super luxury car:  It looks like another grandpa-mobile like Mercury or Buick.

Not a feature I thought I would appreciate much in mine, but holy poo poo it's been in the 80s (and very low 90 one day) already and it's not even March yet and I love the hell out of my seats just auto cooling themselves when I turn my vehicle on already.

The thing that I appreciate the most about the Toyota Century was that until TYOOL 2016 this was the interior:  It's as if somebody decided 1996 was the optimum year for car interior design, and kept it unchanged for twenty years. While I disagree, I liked that an ultra-high-end car such as that has such a gloriously simple and even anachronistic interior. CornHolio fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Feb 25, 2019 |
