So am I right or wrong about the "leather" in the 400A? The guy I bought my 08 from swore up and down that the only portion of the seats that actually had real leather was the butt patch and the back (aka leather inserts). The rest he said was some kind of synthetic. The 401A is the same material throughout the seat. I'm still not 100% sure to this date.
90% of cars are like that. Very few use all leather.

There is no way the 401A has any more leather in it than the 400A. It is just the seating surfaces on the buckets that are leather. The sides, back and entire rear seat are Pleather.
The 401A option is what like $400? That is including the blacked out dash, door panel ornaments and shifter. If the 401A was really 100% Leather that would be more like a $2000 option ... not $400.

Just out of curiousity whenever I see the 401a leather it looks like it would wear faster. On 2010 models with it I have seen some cracks in the leather and *** prints. My question would be if you are sitting on it every day driving would the 401a leather permamently contour to your body. This doesn't seem to be the case with the 400a. Also if the leather were ripped it would stick out like a sore thumb on the 401a if it were repaired. I would think on the 400a a seat repair would be far harder to spot. I do agree though the 401a looks better. But does it wear equally?

Last I checked you have to be sitting in the seat with a cup clenched between your legs!
