Infiniti G37 Leather-Appointed seating?

Thinking of getting a new Infiniti G37, and on their website under "seating and trim" it states that it is leather-appointed seating. Probably a dumb question, but what does that mean? Mainly just want to make sure that its real leather.Infiniti G37 Leather-Appointed seating?
Yes it is real leather. That's just the new highly technical way companies say it in the sales literature to sound intelligent and appealing. Most cars simply have vinyl across 70% of their seats and then 30% of real leather across the seating surfaces. Infiniti on the other hand comes with leather seating as standard unlike most of its competitors such as BMW %26amp; Audi where leatherette is their standard offering while real leather upholstery becomes an option. Leatherette is a form of artificial leather, usually made by covering a fabric base with plastic. Pros of leatherette seating are basically to make the interior of a luxury car look nicer for less, and also it holds up better and longer than leather. You wont have the cracking and fading like you do with real leather over time However the texture %26amp; surfaces of real leather are aesthetically pleasing as well as genuine. Personally I love BMW but I think its a joke that customers spending over $30K receive leatherette at that price point while other competitors like Infiniti and Lexus give you genuine leather seating as standard and not as an option. Isn't that the point of luxury to begin with?!!Infiniti G37 Leather-Appointed seating?
