Fellas -
Looking to spec my Black / Black C2S. And while I have a handle on most of the options available, I must admit I'm utterly confused by seat optionality. Let me try to paraphrase my understanding - you guys tell me if I'm right.
My understanding is that there are currently four variants of seats:
(1) The standard seats (option AN) - cost $0
(2) The standard seats with Leather (option AR) - cost $1,520
(2) The Adaptive Sports Seats (option P01) - cost $3,055
(4) The Adaptive Sports Seats with Leather (option P01L) - cost $2,695
For options (1) and (2), I understand that you can get a Power Seat package, but not for options (3) and (4). Why? Do the ***' already have the Power Seat package built in?
Similarly, for options (1) and (2), I understand that you can get a Supple Leather Front and Rear, but that it "conflicts" with options (3) and (4). Why?
What about the Heated Front seat option? Can you specify that for all four options, or again, like the the Power Seat package, is it included if you buy the Adaptive Sports Seats?
Finally, why are the Adaptive Sports Seats with Leather ($2,695) LESS COSTLY than the basic Adaptive Sports Seats ($3,055)?? Is the Leather option an ADDED cost?
Somebody please help!!
Thx in advance.

(2) The Standard Sports Seats (option ?) - cost ?
(3) The Adaptive Sports Seats (option P01) - cost $3,055 | with Leather (option P01L) - cost $2,695
I wonder why the Standard Sports Seats aren't listed as an option on the Options Guide brochure for the C2S. Maybe I'm missing the designation, or maybe I have an older Options Guide?

You are pretty much on target with your observations.
It is included
It is an option on all seats
Do you really want ruffeled leather on a sports seat? It's never been available.
P01L Adaptive Sports Seats with Leather ($2,695) is with Full Leather interior
Hope this helps

Orient Red's answers are correct. The price of ***'s is lower if you have the full leather option on the car, and they include the power seat option (which is about $1,500 if ordered alone) (so if you have full leather and you wanted power seats, then adaptives are really only about $1,100 extra). I have heated seats with my ***'s ($480 option). I wouldn't recommend supple leather - looks worse over time. The ***'s are definitely worth it in my book.
