Had something to do with cost vs. wear in the affected areas. Cheaper and easier to repair the vinyl than leather for warranty work. The rest of the seats get torn easier than the center seat or back, so they are vinyl.

However, my window sticker clearly says "leather". It does not contain the word vinyl or "leather faced". I must admit, DC got me on this one I guess, my butt is a little sore from it.
