I have a hard time believing Porsche would use different quality leather on partial leather seat inserts
But wow! You are quite an expert on leather, you must be in the leather business.

If I were a Porsche salesperson, I would know my product inside and out, top to bottom.

Growing up my family had a high-end leather furniture business. In furniture all there really is to talk about, and to build value in the customer's eyes, is construction. Just like anything else, if you want to do a great job and offer the customer an exceptional buying experience, you have to know your stuff.

That is the point, isn't it. Whenever we go to a car dealer, with very rare exceptions, my wife remarks that I know more about the car than the salesman does, which is sad. If you're going to be successful you should know your product inside and out. Unfortunately, there are lazy folks in every profession, not just the car selling business.

Another thing to keep in mind is not all markets even offer "partial leather" seats or interiors. UK for example gets standard full leather seats and interior!
I'll have to see the US partial vs leather seats myself because our options and pricing still don't make sense to me...and I doubt a Porsche bean counter slipped up and gave us a bargain!

sorry for any confusion, just noticed the Emirati Dirham Rate in your pricing

Thx guys for all the useful info in here.
Based on it, I changed seats -- on an order I thought had already frozen.
Reading the marketing materials more carefully (than any sane person would) does indeed reveal language that states:
- "Partial leather seats ... covered in grained leather" and
- "Sport Seats Plus ... include smooth-finish leather on seat centers and side bolsters"
Who knows if the smooth leather is "better" quality than the embossed (I think clear that the "Natural" is fully dyed) -- but I am very much at peace with the final selection/upgrade to the 18-way plus seats.
