What is the difference between 'Mulan' leather in the 2LT and 'Napa' leather in the 3LT other than the full wrap? In other words, how does Mulan and Napa leather differ?

Adrenaline Red is available in leather.
Thanks for the info. So since you only mention dash and door panels, does that mean that the seats are real leather even in 1LT and/or 2LT? Or does it possibly mean that the seats are not real leather in any package?

No clue, but it sounds low-cal and healthy.

The seats are covered in genuine leather in all trim levels. With 3LT you step up to Nappa leather which is supposed to be a higher grade than what comes with 1LT and 2LT.

You are WRONG !!!

Naugas come from Naugatuck, CT.

You can't miss them out in the field.
They look like little hassocks. Cute!
