I'm not absolutely sure that the Canadian premium seats are leather-alcantara (and it does include the back seats, not just the Recaros) -- they certainly seem to be alcantara -- but the seats are most definitely not 'fabric' with leather. The material that you sit on is an extremely comfortable, mildly grippy, felt-like surface.

 

ralliart09... thanks a million! that is just about everything I was hoping to find out. thanks for being so helpful, really! well now i'm just going to stay glued to the pre-owned canadian websites and wait til the right one comes up

 

they are the same as the mr seats.

 

Looks like MY2010 makes this a moot point. Almost all the cool canadian stuff seems to be available here now.

 

Exactly which cool Canadian features are you talking about Lachlan? The seats are the ones I'm most interested in

 

Moslty the seats and the HID. I know the US recaro seats aren't leather and heated, but it's still better than what was offered last year.
