2005 E500 Leather vs Tex
While the brochure states that this vehicle has "premium leather upholstery on all seat surfaces (including head restraints and front seatbacks, door arm rests and gathered door trim inserts)", it appears like my front seats have leather seat inserts only (as the E320 would have had). The lateral trim pieces are very stiff, unlike a soft leather that one would expect. Markedly different than the door arm rests and trim, which appear to the soft leather. Any thoughts are appreciated.
