Interesting (and seems a bit odd) that leather seats would be an option for a car that would be done by a local upholstery shop.  I wouldn't think that option would be offered direct from Toyota?  If so, I'd think they'd come with leather from the factory.  Was the dealership offering that and having the cars sent to the upholstery shop to be re-upholstered?

I tend to prefer cloth seats, as leather can be fairly hot in the summer (not good to sit on).
