Unless of course you guys prefer cloth seats on your top-end luxury car![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
P.S.
What are these:
1) Semi-aniline leather
2) Alcantara

I don't particularly like piping either. I'd also opt for double-stitched if I were given the choice.
But I don't know which is more luxurious. To me it's a function of the entire interior and how it's all put together. But I'm more of a sporty-look fan over the luxurious-look.

double stitching... contrast stitches is a bonus. Piping works but only with a limited number of vehicles. Jaguar comes to mind. The Venza's contrast piping is unique (esp. for a NA Toyota) and it works well imo but it's hard to pull it off. DS is a lot easier. (say black with white DS for sporty luxury or black with red DS for sporty period).

I like both and think both are equally luxurious WHEN DONE PROPERLY. Either can have the opposite effect if done in a poor manner.
In regards to Lexus I liked the piping on the IS 300 Sportdesign for instance and I like the double stitching used in the Passionate Black GS.....

Still, what do you think is the best automotive seating material of all time???
@1SICK
I agree with you in that it all depends on the implementation. It's how the manufacturer uses the material which will determine if it's good or bad.........though in my case, I probably won't care haha

@Jaguar
Yup Jaguar did a fantastic job merging all times in their seat upholstery
