Nothing wrong with being in the
minority...and apparently you are. Some people have taste in their eyes, others...in their mouths. Nothing wrong with that.

And there are even a few that may be jealous.
by William Shakespeare
Thou blind fool, Love, what dost thou to mine eyes,
That they behold, and see not what they see?
They know what beauty is, see where it lies,
Yet what the best is take the worst to be.
If eyes, corrupt by over-partial looks,
Be anchor'd in the bay where all men ride,
Why of eyes' falsehood hast thou forged hooks,
Whereto the judgment of my heart is tied?
Why should my heart think that a several plot,
Which my heart knows the wide world's common place?
Or mine eyes, seeing this, say this is not,
To put fair truth upon so foul a face?
In things right true my heart and eyes have err'd,
And to this false plague are they now transferr'd.
If you mean crazy about the look of alcantara, it's a matter of look and feel. Ferrari's, Lambo's, Noble's, Bugatti's, etc. all use it.
The design looks tastefully done. I've been a judge at car shows and would definitely rate the material choice and design as a big plus.
I think one of the guys that posted here is a designer and gave it a thumbs up. It looks as nice as anything Foose has done IMO.
It's just too subjective and you can't please everyone. I know some people who won't even post here for fear of being ripped by guys/girls who are mean spirited.
Some guys are turned off buy Angelina Jolie's tats, other's like her t--s
I think TRANSIO pretty much said it all.

I agree with him.
Solar,
If you get the real alcantara, it comes in 2 weights. The lighter weight would be used for anything but the seats.
It's no heavier than the plastic crap or whatever it is
polyfibergroinhurtumsweat (70's Mercedes material type) that comes in most of the Lotus. Even if it was a lb. or two more, it's worth the feel and look IMO. Look for an (material) upgrade in the 08's.
