I admit there are different standards of leather just as there are cloth but I don't think any of them can beat a good cloth for comfort or appearance. 

All these examples were available with leather, probably at extra cost. 

Mercedes W123.

Volvo 240. I think the 740 had similar.

Vauxhall were the Kings of 80s velour.

But the overall winner is the Fiat 130 coupe.

Tell me you'd rather have leather over these and I won't believe you. 

That W123 velour cost the same as leather in 1982, from memory it was about £800 over the basic half cloth half plastic.Full MB-Tex was £250 extra. Incidentally the so called leather or Artico in modern Mercs is basically MB-Tex, as far as I can see.

Oh yes I see that.= comparing the images side by side. Its quite amusing that if you type in "Seat Leon MK1" into google images they're all barried 🤣

Seems so! Just not something I'd noticed before I saw the side profile of it on the advert
