That's what it looked like. Hopefully if temporary, that continues through August. Full leather would be a nice bonus.

My 2022 110 X-D SE came in with the Khaki/Ebony I ordered. Khaki leather in the middle, black Robustec around the sides. It was built on 5/5/21.

I’d certainly be happy either way because they are the two benchmark cars in the segment in my opinion.
Thanks for the response. I have a 2016 GT4 currently and love the precision of that one, but I like the philosophy of the Alpine a lot. Ditto the 4C. Did you consider that in lieu of the A110?

I did. But it is unfortunately a compromised car, with a wayward front end. The A110 is really what the 4C should have been…minus the supercar looks.

What's the situation with the P300 S leather? Configurator showed leather seats, but the build sheet shows leather/robustec combo. I think I've seen reports of some MY22 ones coming with full leather. Is that the case now?
My MY22 110 SE was ordered in early March and was to have the leather/robustec combo, built on 5/18/21 and arrived last week with full leather! Very happy with the surprise (no extra charge).
