not really

id bet the government makes a bigger lick in the lct + gst + sd than the manufacturer does per vehicle

imo the reason they vent with vinyl is to keep the overall cost down

most manufacturers are doing the same nowadays anyway, its just that vinyl has gotten so good at replicating the look and feel of leather that most people dont even know it - including all those ppl who are rushing out buying A4s, C-class's, X5s etc

To be honest I thought it was leather. It does look and feel different to my A5 but that is Nappa so I just assumed it was a different type of leather not that the GTR's was actually vinyl. I feel used like a cheap whore.

*cough* it's actually vinyl

the seats, dash, doors, a-pillar trim is all vinyl with a foam backing

the only leather part of the seats is the perforated insert that follows the seat edging

Only partly true: the seat and back rest bolsters I was complaining about are leather, in my case, delaminating cheap leather.

Its all fixed now, thanks to the GT-R dealership who went out of their way to please a valued customer!
