The "quality" range of both real leather and fake leather is extremely wide. There is a lot of overlap.
Unless you are driving an S-class around, there is a very good chance that the "leather" seats you love are part leather and part fake leather (and you most likely can't tell the difference).
Anyway, Volvo offers "city weave" textile on most of their cars in the US - it is really awesome. But if you want to see something really amazing, check out the special-order wool seats that Volvo offers.

Thats fair. I will admit that the E class I used to have was probably some hybrid leather, but it didnt make me sweat, so thats ok.
Not usre what City weave is, but Ill look into it. Wool seats sound amazing. That is something I would go for.
At this point i have my luxury brand preferences, but its nice to see alternatives and other brands doing different/better.
end of the day, I've test driven volvos and they are overpriced for what you get compared to other luxury brands. I've had new Mercedes and they offer more for your buck.
so to me I'm just not the target audience for Volvo. and this kinda seals the deal for me.
