Mercedes has been producing fake leather (Mercedes-Tex) interiors for years that IMO are much better than actual leather or cloth. Cool. Easy to clean. Not sticky like vinyl. Last forever. Feel like leather.

Always wondered why more auto companies haven't figured out how to improve on leather interiors.
