My dealer had one '02 9-5 Linear with cloth seats. Unless one has an 1) moral aversion/personal allergy to leather, or 2) is an environmental activist or 3) will keep the car forever with no intention of selling it, getting cloth seats in a luxury sports sedan does make sense. No offense intended. I can see a rationale for wanting cloth seats (not as hot in summer, etc). But personally I wouldn't go that route. If it were a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, yes. Relatively easy sell for a family sedan. As a luxury European sports sedan competing against Audi, M-B, BMW, Lexus, etc? No way.
You'll take a major hit come trade-in/resale time-as few people are interested in luxury cars without leather. You'll most likely be stuck with the car for a long time. (not that being stuck with a 9-5 is bad, of course)
