Go to MBUSA.com and check out the New E Class. When you try to reserve it, u can build one and then it shows you the E 320 comes standard with Leather Inserts... not full leather. 
How Sad.

Guess the standard upholstery in the Euro-version will be made of cloth, so don't complain! 
(By the way, I would get the cloth interior in any MB if it was available...)

If your interior was full leather it would look like a stretched out glove after a few years. MB-Tex and BMW leatherette are actually very good products. Its just that saying your interior is 100% vinyl does not sound very appealing these days.

From my understanding
their excuse was Mad Cow Disease is making leather sparse so they had to compensate.
That is the reason, I am told, why leather was so sparse or not available on the early C Coupes.
