For those of you ordering new '06 MINIs disheartened by the lack of cloth seats, they're back!

My car's in production now with leatherette... I think I'll keep it (although I originally wanted cloth)

 

Ugh...I really really really wanted the cloth. My car's in production now, though. Don't think I can change it from Leather...

 

My original order had Space Cloth but they 'ran out' while I was waiting to be produced. I ended up with the gray leatherette. Ohhh well

 

Dammmn! My car was completed on 4/2 and I REALLY wanted space cloth. I'm settling for leatherette. But then, if I waited to order till now, I wouldn't have been able to get Purple Haze.

I still may swap out my seats for my daughter's ('04). She's always getting in her car wet from swim practice or water polo, so leatherette would be great for her.

Grrrr...

Excellent. I've been tossing around the idea of trading in my MC for an '06 MCS, but the lack of basic black and a cloth interior were a couple of the things holding me back. I suppose I can live with the $450 surcharge for Astro Black, but the Space gray cloth like I have in my current MC is definitely great news.
