Default Brownstone question, please

If Brownstone is ordered with non-sueded seating surfaces, are the doors, dash and console cover still sueded? Thanks, John

Non-sueded seating surfaces are much easier to clean.

Love that color, I also would NOT get the suede, for some reason I have never liked Suede seats.

I will but I am away from home until next Friday. I have to assume the car is safely stowed.

Man, those seats are hard to get into & out of, but they sure look great!

I took some pictures of the Premiere Edition at the dealer where I ordered mine.
Of course this car HAS the suede so my pictures probably are of no help to answer your questions....
I'll add them just in case there is something that may be of interest.
Remember that the Premiere Edition is a 3LT so that puts more leather on the dash and I believe more leather on the door panels (in addition to being the "napa" leather....and most should know Brownstone is ONLY available on the 3LT.)
I specifically went to this dealer to see this interior in person because I thought I wanted it. After seeing in person I'm not a fan. It is very very nice... but IMHO doesn't look right in a sports car. and certainly not a BLUE sports car.)

anyway... here are some pics:
