Apparently swathing the dash of a Ferrari or the headliner of a Noble wasn't enough for the sellers of Alcantara leather around the world. The suede-like leather product that has until now been reserved for exotics and upper end cars is going to be find its way into Chryslers Cadillacs and even Mercury Mariners. As Dave from Kicking Tires notes the grippy material probably won't seem out of place in the Chrysler SRT models or Cadillac's V series but the Mariner seems a stretch.

We've now seen Alcantara in almost every make's catalog. Scion has it in the tC 2.0 Mitsubishi and Subaru in their rally-inspired offerings too. M-B Ferrari Lamborghini Noble Audi Peugeot Lancia Mazda VW Honda even SMART. Looks like Alcantara is shapin up to be the fabric of the future.
