[A4] cloth interior?

[Brandon Rogers]

I've got the Sport Seats and gotta say I like them a lot.  A little less hot 
in the summer and less cold in the winter.  And of course you don't slide 
around on them...

As to the original question regarding cloth interior available in Canada in 
2001 - sorry I don't know.  The original question seemed to have been lost 
in the thread....Has anybody helped Kirby with the answer?

Brandon
