Leather/suede seat combo. Japan will laugh at us when our seats becoming shiny and wrinkly.

I'm sure it won't be too long before someone will import those seats and sell them here

Well we will laugh at Japan when their suede wears out too.. Plus look he has no homelink

But I do like the alcantara type of interior, very sporty and it could have been at least a special package here.

I don't see anything good about suede....
Suede is a fabric and as such will get stained more easily and cleaning it would be a pain in the butt. I'm personally very satisfied with the leather and although I'll be the first to admit that the quality is not the best I've see, it IS in my opinion more practical than any types of fabrics.

If you can find a place to order the covers, it's not that hard to replace them.

That's because Japanese don't generally live in detached houses like we do here. It's kinda hard to have a garage on the 36th floor

suede doesn't last that long, plus you spill something or sit in the car when you've
just ran from the office to your car in the rain you're going to stain it.

I prefer the current USDM leather seats (in graphite, ofcourse. )
