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.

The Ford Mustang GT350 and GT350R review

It’s the exhaust system. It’s an eye widening, amazing mechanical roar, both exotic and muscular at the same time. And that is in the Sport mode. In the standard mode, it’s a quiet cruiser and an excellent grand tourer. Comparisons to the BMW M4 are immediate and inevitable, it is that dialed in. Ford took the already very good Mustang platform and enhanced the suspension and drivetrain, and based on past drives of the current the model, the some interior bits as well. The 2016 Ford Mustang GT350 is Ford’s flat plane crankshaft V-8 answer to the Camaro Z/28 but is absolutely street friendly and less expensive. The non-R version has a starting MSRP $47,995. It features a 5.2 liter V-8 rated at 524hp at 7500 rpm and a healthy 429 lb-ft. torque at 4,750 rpm. The 8000rpm redline makes for a long, hard pull to redline. With the exhaust in the quiet mode, and 80mph cruise is as silent as the BMW 3-series. Styling takes the great lines of the current GT and adds more aggressive touches withou...

The Absurdity of Fastrak and the HOV lanes

The state of California continues with the ridiculous HOV or High Occupancy Vehicle lanes that are intended for Electric Vehicles, hybrids with limited issue permission stickers, motorcycles and multiple occupant vehicles. As you can guess, eventually these lanes won’t move any quicker than other full access lanes. That’s how stupid they are. They are so poorly thought out that there are multiple scenarios that the system can be foiled. Of course, not everyone can use these lanes which I covered in a previous article here: http://cartruthblog.blogspot.com/2016/07/abolish-wasteful-and-unfair-hov-lanes.html so they are patently unfair. Now in the infinite wisdom of CalTrans and others, the Fastrak was introduced in order to charge a fee for solo riders who want to use the lanes. This meant adding sensors to detect vehicles but still no cameras for reading license plates. Of course cameras came next along with a revised Fastrak that has a switch to indicate how many passengers are in the ...

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...
