Last car to have a velour interior

[ingenieur]

How cars are upholstered matters at lot to me when choosing a car. I thought about how things have changed as I've grown up with cars. In the old days cars often had the options of velour or leather. Plain flat cloth or synthetic leather are the choices these days. Some high end manufacturers offer a real leather option.

I was just thinking I don't really know when they phased out velour and what was the last car you could buy which had it?

Potentially was something French I agree. Wouldn't know about the yank tanks... but it's possible.

Looks more like alcantara... which is also available in fake and real varieties I think.
