Q: Alright I'm a huge car fanatic, but I've never been able to figure this out. Maybach, Lamborghini... you name it, a ton of exotic car companies use Alcantara for their upholstery. But why would they use this material instead of suede? Alcantara is much more prone to wear than Suede, so I just don't understand why they use this fabric... any thoughts??? Yeah, it's cheaper... but we're talking about 2 or $300,000 cars here, so I don't think that would be an issue!
A: My first thought is it is cheaper but that's a good question. My second guess would be you don't want to get suede wet and they will get wet from time to time if you have the window down or top down.
