i can certainly see your (and amandas) point, but what about in a luxury car?

on a side note, the leather in my lebaron convertible would get scortching hot in the summer....it would burn through clothes...

RE: 2006 Ford Mustang Giugiaro Concept
 

I know luxury would be Leather. Maybe they can come up with an alternative, that isn't the basic cloth. Have you seen the new exec chairs that are made of that microfibre? Now that would be nice. They are very comfy. I am going to get one for my home office.

my "office chair" here is a swiveling lazy boy...:D

i spend 12 hours a day in front of my computer...i want to be comfortable...[8D]

RE: 2006 Ford Mustang Giugiaro Concept
 

I spend about that much time in front of a computer a day. But don't think the company will get ame a lazy boy. :(. Have to have what they provide because every office area has to be the same. Like, when I went to Farmington Hills, the cubicles looked the same as here.

At home., no room. The room 3rd bedroom is small enough, but it has my corner desk. a treadmill and Boflex. and a small TV.

I should though hit the carshow. It is here this week. But the motorcycle show is also this weekend. I should go to both. But it is all about the time. I haven't seen anything on if the challenger is there though. Usually when that is there, there is a right up about it. If I do go, I will take the camera.

Patrick: LOL! on the short shorts joke!

TechmanBD: I understand what you mean. Although I've never been to Southern California, 119F would burn bad enough on cloth let alone leather. There are nicer grades of cloth interior. The stuff that is in the previous GC is really good quality stuff (I haven't been in the current one so I can't compare it). Since they have a "premium leather" perhaps they should consider a premium cloth for those in extremely hot states.

Oh and BTW, quit your complaining about the chairs you guys have at work, at my campus the chairs have absolutely zero cushion.:D The classrooms at my highschool and below also had zero cushion to them, and we weren't allowed to bring in any cushions (unless for medical reasons).

If you want looks, Leather is it. If you want practicality, I like cloth better. During winter, you can sit on the
seats naked and not freeze your butt off and during the summer you can sit on the seat naked and not fry your go..... off.

In Texas, you can burn yourself on the steering wheel, gear shift, and vinyl/leather seats during hot summers.

If you have excellent quality foam rubber and premium quality cloth, that is my choice but I bet the Challenger will mostly come in leather.

RE: 2006 Ford Mustang Giugiaro Concept
 

Out of curosity, how cold does it get in Texas. They have seat warmers for that purpose.

Your right that leather is what it will mostly be offered in. Nowdays, leather is becoming more and more popular. I like it if it is good leather (ex. Chrysler's premium leather, Cadillac's leather, Mazda, Honda, etc.), but it it is cheap leather (Pontiac leather, 90s Buick, Ford leather) then I'd rather have cloth but if it is the supercheap cloth (found in last Firebirds & Camaros, 97-03 Grand Prixs) I don't know what I would prefer.

RE: 2006 Ford Mustang Giugiaro Concept
 

I didn't realize Texas got that cold either.

Luckily where I am at, I don't worry about getting too cold. But that can always change one day. or year. Have to wait at least 5 more years before we get move out of this area. But not sure where to. I would like to get out of CA, but she is not sure. It would have to be a place that doesn't get snow, because she doesn't like it.

RE: 2006 Ford Mustang Giugiaro Concept
 

Last week it was around the 20 degrees where I'm at. Everytown around us got hit hard with Ice and Snow except us (thank goodness). This week is a lot warmer thankfully.

So why do you have to wait five years to move out of CA? Have you ever thought about Oklahoma? My cousin has lived in Midwest City (not far from Oklahoma City) for around 35-40 years. They never get snow and their summers are mild, just watch out for tornadoes is all.
