I just came across this so thought I would post it

Alcantara

When I was trying to decide on my interior for L&K I found limited photos on the web, so thought that others would find these links useful.

What is it?...

The flowery language in the FAQ is interesting! ...

its bloody awful stuff, shows every last little mark! :P

I think suede is nicer for seats, but it makes a great dash material, or headliner.

Is it easy to clean ? :confused:

Had my L&K for four months now and dead chuffed with the black Alcantara. Apparently its very expensive stuff. It is easy to clean (much better than the fabric on my previous elegance) . The only slight issue with the extra cost of the leather/Alcantara combination is the lack of leather,, ie, the faces of the seats have a bit of leather but the edges and backs of the seats are just matching imitation leather. Hot weather is not such a problem with Alcantara also.
