A. Rosich,

Admittedly I haven't spent much time in a W140. Maybe those seats are better. I agree that velour is tha way to go, but as you say not popular in the U.S. It is warm in winter, cool in summer, and extremely durable. It is also very quiet. It doesn't make all the strange noises that leather and MB Tex do.

Lebenz,
You may have hit on something. After an hour or so of driving, my left leg starts falling asleep. My back gets so kinked up that I get out of the car like a cripple. It takes a few seconds before I can stand up straight. All I ever drive is MBs so maybe the seats are just not right for me. I don't recall having this problem a few years ago on vacation in Europe. We rented a Renault for 2 weeks. Maybe I should consult a Doc.

Peter
