We just saw a new Cube S in Steel Grey with Gunmetal wheels at Serramonte Nissan in Colma, CA (a few minutes south of San Francisco) - when we saw it yesterday (8/22/09), it was still available. We were surprised to see a leather interior when we opened the door. They used someone local to reupholster the interior in leather, and the markup on the sticker is $1,495 for the leather. The photos below don't do it justice...the color, texture/grain and overall look are poor in the photos vs. what we saw in real life. With that in mind, we still decided to post the pictures so you can get a general idea of what it looks like. The close-up picture of the headrest shows a little of the grain. They seemed to do a good job on all of the details (it looked like factory leather to me), and it added more of a luxury car look to the interior.

Also, it was neat seeing the Steel Grey with the Gunmetal wheels - they looked to be almost the same color.

FYI...They told us they ended their participation in the cash for clunkers program as of Friday (8/21/09).

Aren't there airbags in the sides of the seats ? I'd love to have leather, but wouldn't give up the seat side airbags.

You can't see it in the photos but the front seats have the side airbag tags sticking out like the stock seats...so I'll assume they still work.
