I found it strange a higher level car such as a Clubsport has cloth where a lower level SS gets the leather treatment.

Appears to be robbing Peter to pay Paul in saving money to put towards other fancy bits on a Clubby but the Clubby is still the poor cousin to the GTS.
But I suppose they have to do something to drop the level away.

So yes, for me, that is the way I see a car as desirable and that's what we are being asked here, 'what are the next collectables...' and if that's why I do not include a Clubsport for having cloth as desirable, I'm just putting forward a reason why and if its only a small criticism on my behalf, so be it.

As for leather, it will always be a need for me where ever I can get it a new car. There you go we all have our different opinions on leather and I just think it is so much easier to keep clean especially with children, even if it is a fake leather, who cares.

I have VX/VY SS leather seats in my van, I purchased brand new through evilbay many years ago, my van is my daily drive and the only problem is the drivers right hand seat bolster looks wrinkled, I have no problems with the wear and tear of leather and like cloth, it will be determined on how you look after it. Any right hand bolster of any seat copping a hiding, cloth or leather is going to show wear after continual use.
