Some people like leather, I think it’s overrated.

Very few cars these days have actual hide leather.

Most are composites where leather bits are ground up and suspended in a polymer film. It sorta smells like leather and sorta feels like leather, but to anyone but the auto salesman, it's as much leather as a hot dog is meat. It's like vinyl without the durability.

Personally, I wish vinyl seats would make a comeback. More durable than leather and less dirt attracting than the velour stuff in most cars. But I seem to be in the minority.

Brother you don’t want leather. Leather is hot....Leather cracks...

Go ahead, start it right up. That’s American horsepower!

Know what I like best? The price.....
