I'm not surprised: MB has been using MBTex or whatever it is called more frequently and charging extra for leather.

The leather isn't what it was, either.
The E350 Coupe had porcelain leather and at 7 years was aged, but not worn.
The C43 has the same leather, but at 2 years the colour is lifting: this is the front centre of the drivers seat, not where you'd expect wear.



I've lodged a complaint. It really is not acceptable.

The door tops and dash are MBTex, they look as new.
