vitaman is infamous around these parts
I believe the Alcantara is only available on the GTS.
I would consider it more sporty and the full leather more luxurious. It creates a bit of friction that would help you stay in the seat under spirited driving conditions.

Thank you for your response. Yes it would be for a new GTS order.
Any thoughts on how it might hold up over time vs full leather?

Leather will still be luxuriously looking many years after your alcantara is all worn out...

after 40K miles on my old 2008 GTS, it looked brand new with the alcantera inserts.
I do prefer the full leather in my CTT now though.

both are different, both are nice.
