Mercedez Benz News Mercedes-Benz Introduces the A 35 Sedan

I like the looks of the vinyl seats in the Escape and Edge, Ford has a goofy name for the material, like a lot of OEMs.  The new Mazda 3 has nice leatherette seats... Mazda calls them leatherette.  For Chevy Cruze's last year, the Premier model did away with leather and went with leatherette, and ppl complained... not realizing that GM was doing them a favor... (unless GM's leatherette is thin and crappy, I haven't fondled it).  We had a very high mileage first-gen Spark come in with its vinyl seats in TATTERS... the vinyl coating suffered a catastrophic failure and the woven cloth underlayment was visible.  Not all vinyl/leatherette is created equal.

If I were to get a Chevy WT regular cab, I would go with the vinyl seat covering... a lot easier to keep clean (although the alternative black cloth is not too bad I guess).
