Default Synthetic Leather

I like the feel and look of the leather in my IS, but I don't like the fact that an animal was skined for my interior. I wish I could choose synthetic leather.

No haPpY cows at Lexus.

I What do you guys think?

I think I love the leather in my Lexus and would not buy a car with synthetic leather. I do however appreciate your point of view.

I think you should go hug a tree now.

Or trade your Lexus in and get a BMW with Letherette.

I think cows will be killed no matter what. If its not for your seats its for your hamburgers. They are bread for it. I enjoy sitting in the fine cows that lexus chose to make my seats out of. Soooo much better than Acuras!

Let me know when you switch out to synthetic so I can go buy another IS with 100% cow to make up for your slacking.

My seats are so fine, I think they were made from a sacred cow from India.

Get a grip, man; that's why we grow the god**** cows! If they were at the top of the food chain, they might be making lampshades from *our* skin.

I think you should sell your IS immediately and donate the proceeds to your local Church. Then shave off all your hair and donate it to chemotherapy patients. Next, sell the rest of your earthly possessions and donate the money to underprivileged children. Lastly, walk the earth barefooted with only the clothes on your back, chanting buddhist prayers. Then and only then, will you truly find peace from your wretched sins . . .
