That carbon/alcantra (suede-like material, correct?) SL interior is officially the tightest M-B interior ever! What would something like that cost? $5000?

BTW what are those rims on the G55 AMG, they look like my double spokes except the spokes are filled in!

I was not too big on Carlsson until I saw their S500 with carbon/alcantra interior. Amazing. If all the vinyl bits in my car were replaced by suede, it would be beautiful and luxurious. The SL interior did not look that great in comparison for some reason. Also, a natural suede steering wheel requires driving gloves. I'm not sure about alcantra, but I would guess no.
