Vegan Leather VS Animal Hide Leather

[COdogman]

Let's not forget those mechanical wonders that somehow you would pull the chrome button out, and somehow it then "remembered" that FM station.

And my Camaro had Vegan leather too. It was just called vinyl then and had all these little divots in as surface finish. Like a golf ball surface. And when I got up, with shorts on, I would stick and then have little dots all over my legs till my skin reset.

Oh yeah. And it literally just moved the line a few inches to the saved spot on the radio dial? I remember thinking that was so helpful

I’m sure I’m in a tiny minority but I’d prefer modern seats of cloth trimmed with vinyl or vegan leather. Cloth feels warmer in winter and cooler in summer even without heating and ventilation. I really like the cloth Volvo is using:

Not in the minority at all. Cloth is better, it's just that people have convinced themselves that leather is a "luxury" item and they've never experienced great cloth/textile seats. Volvo has great seats. The Toyota Century has amazing wool seats.

The ONLY upside to leather or vinyl is the way liquids roll off, but the cloth seats these days are coated anyway so it's not really an issue.
