No, and the entire steering wheel is not alcantara either - just the sides, if I recall. Top and bottom are leather (I'm guessing its roughly divided into quarters).

What's the big excitement about alcantera? It's a synthetic suede... read: plastic cloth made to feel like leather.

It's upside is for racing applications... steering: cloth/suede palm gloves don't skid and seats.. bottom won't slide around.

It doesn't hold up to stains very well, it is - well - synthetic vinyl but everyone is beating down the doors to get it.

odd.

i think its a smart buy and it adds to the resale.
