It's been a while since I sat in a new Roller but the quarter million dollar merc we went to lunch in yesterday was painted leather.
I see very little 'open' hide and I clean leather for a living.
It may not be open, but the feel is drastically different. The leather in my BMW has more grab and better thexture than the Honda I mentioned (11 CRV). A friend just got a new infinit SUV, and that leather is also substantially different than the honda plastic stuff. Heck, my 82 MB tex has better texture and feel than many of the new coated leathers, which remind me of a plastic sandwach bag stretched out super tight to be conformal.
