Please reply in English and keep discussion to 12ML, not GLK.

Actually this thread is about MB-Tex, which is far from model specific and in some applications such as the GLK it is perforated in the center section. To the original question I prefer the leather in my C63 far and away over the MB-Tex in my GLK regardless of the durability and maintenance issue. I am planning to trade for a new ML soon and for me leather is the only choice.

I'm anxious to see the Dinamica/MB-Tex as a third option, as I like the Alcantara/MB-Tex in my '06 a lot.

E-Class MB-Tex is also perforated in the front seats (middle portion).

Well, ML is still considered a truck, so even though it has the same base price, I guess we don't get it.
