Why isn't there an option for leather all over the interior just yet? I just did some configuring of a C4S and I cannot find these options anywhere. For the Pillars and the Roof inside the interior? What is Porsche saying sometime in 2014?

Those type of options are Porsche Exclusive custom interior options and some are available on the Dealer's configurator internal system. You can also contact Porsche Exclusive for an appointment to discuss options.

My question is why? The Alcantera roof with the present pillars are just fine and look good. If you want to further donate money to Porsche, just write them a $4000 check for "incidentals".

You and I are on the opposite ends or the spectrum on this one. I think the alcantara is cheap looking. It is tolerable on the headliner, on the seats, steering wheel, and shift ****, look terrible on a daily driver car after a couple of years.

I somehow think Alcantara headliner looks more expensive than leather, unless there is some nice stitching on the leather headliner involved. That looks very nice, when done right.
However, I don't like Alcantara on the seats or steering wheel. There I like leather a lot more. (Only place I would like an alcantara steering wheel is on a track, because it has a nice grip)
I also have to say that Alcantara only looks good in dark colors. In light colors I would probably also prefer leather, but I want my headliners always in dark colors. Don't like light colored headliners and pilars.
