2005 MR w/ Leather Seats??

Do you guys think the 05 MR will come with leather seats?

I've placed deposits at two dealerships, one tells me the MR will come with leather seats? is this a possibility???

it would make my day if the MR came with leather seats.

i wish the mr did have leather seats but unfortunately the car doesn't. only the regular evo has leather as an option. Maybe as a dealer installed option. (was available on 03 evo's for 1,000 dollars. Again the mr does not have leather seats. it is just one option of many that mitsubishi left out.

My fiance has the aftermarket leather on her 03 Evo and it looks real nice, but you wouldn't want leather on a racing seat if you plan on taking the corners hard. The seats don't hold you in as well as the cloth seats do. Just my .02 cents. It is an awesome look but you slip when taking the corners.

You are right. 03's did not have this option, that's why I stated that it was done aftermarket. For $1000 they redid all the seats, doors and center console....it actually looks better than the '04 leather editions. Their leather is kind of cheesy and dull looking. IMO.

what the f#ck. For the 2003 model year, the evo was available with leather through your dealer as an aftermarket item. It was not factory built or installed. That was available starting in 2004. Don't argue with me because i know. i asked several dealers at the time if leather was available in the 03 and all the dealers said yes even though it was not through mitsubishi motors.
