Limited Van's Seat Quality

[Richard]

A client called me today. He took delivery of a 2003 Limited mini-van. He noted that the seats were mostly vinyl and vinyl covered cloth (velour?), and only the inserts were leather. This is at odds with the promotional material but typical of what Chrysler builds into these vehicles. Any comments?

Ads that I've seen call out "leather trimmed" seats, as do most ads for other moderately priced vehicles. What this amounts to is leather where the body contacts the seat, vinyl everywhere else.

What kind of client? Legal or other?

I don't think it's at odds with anything I've seen in the promotional material for this vehicle -- what statement in the promotional material does the owner think his leather-trimmed seats contradict?

Well, on the Chrysler web page, if you select Town & Country, then models, then Limited, it says:

Seating-Seton Sutton leather _trimmed_ with preferred suede accents, Intermediate Quad Command roller buckets and rear deluxe three-passenger bench

"leather-trimmed" is Detroit-ese for partially leather.
