Upgrading to a leather interior isn’t always about feel, wear, and possibly staying cooler. With Katzkin leather interiors, it’s a visual styling
upgrade as well. Base model or budget vehicles rarely have leather seats but thanks to Katzkin’s excellent customer service and quality
Check out the difference!

installation, it makes for a spectacular interior styling.
I had the good fortune of arranging for a relative to have Katzkin’s top-of-the-line interior installed in a 2010 Subaru Impreza sedan with
heated seats. Be sure to look at the before and after pictures for the dramatic upgrade. Katzkin was absolutely excellent in the
communication and coordination of the process with professional installation by ATD – Auto Trim Design in Tukwila, WA.
Katzkin was founded in 1983 and in 1986 manufactured its first custom leather interior for the Honda Accord. As of 1998, the interiors are
manufactured in Montebello, CA and Malaysia with their partner, DK-Schweizer who is a supplier of leather interiors for Asian and
European automotive manufactures.
Katzkin has an impressive list of relationships such as an official leather supplier for Ford Motor Company and Shelby American, Inc.
They are the only tested and approved leather seat accessory for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram & Fiat vehicles. Additionally, Katzkin is
also the exclusive supplier for Carmax and AutoNation in Florida. They do not offer interior packages for makes that come exclusively
with leather.
MSRP is $1,995 for the factory –style, the next level is Katzkin Design for $2,195 and then “Design Your Own” for even more options.
Keep in mind, this a permanent modification that looks amazing for many years or even decades that you’re aware of the entire time
you’re in the car. A well matched leather interior arguably has the most appeal of any modification, and definitely the most intimate.

Sixth generation Camaro V6 review

Chevrolet updated the chassis of the Camaro for 2016 with the new Alpha platform and by all accounts the approximately 250 to 300lb weight reduction was a huge improvement. Despite having a brilliant chassis and three powerful engine choices, the interior and outward visibility hardly improved at all. I wanted to like this car, I really did. It has some really good aspects but overall it’s only good for going in a straight line, not reverse or backing up out of any parking space, on public roads or modified into a track-only car.  You decide if the interior justifies a $29,000 MSRP. The 2017 model is essentially the same. The 335hp V-6 is a great engine, responsive, sounds good and with the quick shifting 8 speed automatic, the car is capable of mid-high 13 second quarter mile ETs. It feels every bit as quick as the numbers suggest. It has no appreciable dead spots and has an excellent pull. The 8 speed auto is finicky on the highway though, downshifting at the slightest provocatio...

BMW M760LI xDrive quick review

2017 BMW M760LI XDRIVE – LUXURY ON OVER-DRIVE Originally published on the new performance oriented website, Fuelcurve.com:  https://fuelcurve.com/2017-bmw-m760li-xdrive-luxury-over-drive-review/ Seeing a factory matte finish BMW raises the eyebrows. Strolling nonchalantly toward it, spotting the V-12 emblem puts a pause in your pace. Then reading the back emblem and seeing “M760i” denoting BMW’s 601hp technological tour-de-force definitely raises both eyebrows. Who knew a 2017 model year V-12, twin turbo sedan was available anywhere for nearly $172,000. This is a CEO car. It’s for the business owner who, nicely put, gives zero cares about what anyone thinks about his or her 16mpg highway Q-ship. They worked hard, employ many, and get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Or maybe wants something that is extremely modern, smooth and quiet and not care where the charging station may or may not be. Start-up and driving is like any other car in the basic sense. But extra attention is giv...

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS review and test drive

The 2015 Porsche Caymen GTS is the now the best all-around sports car under one hundred thousand dollars, replacing the prior title holder, the Porsche Caymen S. Take everything the prior S model is, add horsepower and a more track and driver oriented, visceral demeanor while retaining streetability, and that is the GTS. Besides horsepower, it adds a new body kit, a sport exhaust system, 20” wheels and a lower ride height versus the S. Conveying the balanced perfection of a Cayman isn’t easy unless it’s driven. The latest generation gives it a more exotic, grown-up look. Inside, the familiar ideal seating position with excellent outward visibility. Every surface visually sculpted, everything that is touched has an engineered quality with logic of the controls. For performance driving or track days it has a lower ride height, among the lowest center of gravity among production cars, and an engine placed where it’s supposed to be, right behind you. The sport exhaust reminds the driver th...
