Default If not suede then what?

I did not order the microfiber accents and now may be regretting it. Has anyone seen a car without the microfiber roof liners and A-pillers? Is the material similar to the non-leather dash?

I ordered the 3LT in Kalahari, so don;t know what the remaining interior will look like.

I would assume pleather of some sort.

I'm not certain but I thought only Brownstone came with the microfiber upper treatment and microfiber on the dash?

Default Thx

It looks ok, and I guess I saved $1000, but I wish it had been standard on the 3LT trim level. In looking through GMer's order status thread where he lists the first 100 orders and options, only 12 of those (by my count) ordered the upper suede option (IWE). Makes me wonder if folks intentionally omitted it or like me did not know any better.

I am indeed one of those 100 original orders. The way in which I discovered this option was to carefully go down the computer screen at the dealership at the sales manger's desk and personally make a decision on each and every option available as we were both looking at screen. Otherwise, I might have overlooked it.

That said, I think the standard finish which is a nylon mesh type fabric looks great. I just happen to prefer the look of the suede. I have had Alcantara in several of my previous vehicles and have always liked the look. It's not necessary. It's a luxury.

in the cars I've seen, the non-"suede" interiors didn't look bad, cheap or otherwise terrible. in other words, it looked fine to me. and the kalahari is so bold, I doubt if you'll notice the rest.
