Valcona vs Valetta

+1 re the full leather. You see that dashboard and the rest of the upgraded leather 100% of the time you are in the car, and at least to me, it seems to have become the dominant feature of my car. Love it! Mike

Turns out the comfort headrests are gone in the D5. I sat in one and I could not find this feature...sadly.
To close the loop on this, the Valetta leather is surprisingly nice, but the lack of full leather on the dashboard, center armrest, and the doors is what did it for me. Thus, I bought the luxury package which has the sport seats and the full extended leather throughout. The Valetta leather on the comfort seats is surprisingly alright, and it's hard to tell that it's not top o' the line leather, but whatever they use on the dash/center armrest/doors is hideous, and "hard".

This is the valetta 22-way comfort seats on the premium package that didnt come with the valcona leather. its durable i must say.
Does the dealer have the First Edition Package you can get with the Executive Package.

The leather on the seats made me pause a little and think twice about paying more for the luxury package/sport seats because it looked pretty darn good, and felt pretty good, but as I mentioned before, it was "everything else" that made me spring for the luxury package.

Yup, and this is the one on the D5.

The only order i would had made if i decided to go with the D5 was the Premium package and the Executive package
keep the stock wheels on 19".

So the executive comfort seats give you Valetta and includes massage?
I read that the Valcona gives maybe an extra layer of comfort to the seats. I'm pretty picky and would want the more comfort option.. coming from a Lexus with very plush seats (semi aniline, I don't know what leather they use though or is that the term?)
