that's exactly what I heard and it was likely due to cost. I think only the high end cars come with full leather seats. I am pretty sure the Z does not have full leather seats.

I was conditioning the seats and it appears that only portion of the front sitting surface is leather (excluding the middle section).

Thus less complaining from customers trying to get warranty repair for messed up leather from sliding in and out of the seats. In cars where I knew this was the case I could not really tell by looking wih naked eye. You could feel it after conditioning. Or see it when magnified. Typically you can tell by the way they advertise the leather option. Verbiage will read "leather appointed" seats.
