Jetta isn't exactly a luxury brand. Volvo did offer cloth in the S40/V50 in the US market. Back in the day, vinyl interiors were considered el cheapo even in comparison to cloth. That's my frame of reference.

Isn't that how it should be?? We're not the EU, they have different standards.
In other words, their research shows that US customers would rather buy something that looks kind of like leather rather than something that's more comfortable, just to impress the neighbors.
