My 2000 Alero has cloth seats and to this date have NEVER needed any repairs or alterations and still look factory new! My 2005 Buick Terazza on the other hand has the leatherette / cloth combo seats and as of todays date, the drivers seat has been repaired 5 times ( leatherette parts only ) with no repairs needed to the cloth inserts. If given the choice, I will always pick cloth over leatherette any day hands down, however, with more vehicles offering leather / leatherette seats as standard options, I just don't see the point in paying an additional $750 - $1,000 on average just to get leather in the seating areas knowing full well that the other 90% of the seats are a cheap vinyl grade material. Want a better idea of the quality of leatherette! ... go to the used car department of your local dealership and compare a couple of lets say 5 - 7 year old vehicles... 1 with cloth and 1 with leather / leatherette and compare the difference. I'm willing to bet that the cloth will look almost perfect and the leather / leatherette will show cracking, rippling and even the occasional rips too! Dare to compare! In the picture attached ( 2009 Impala ) the area inside the red boxes are actual leather, everything else on the seat is leatherette. Hey, its your money.

So is this how much leather is going to be in the Camaro seats?
