    Too "1980's" Oldsmobile Cutlass looking for my liking. Manny, Moe and Jack inventory. Sorry.

    I'd disagree. There's nothing special about these covers and if Toyota sold them they'd be more expensive. Toyota can't compete with the aftermarket for this sort of non-differentiated product. Toyota loses trying to 'out-Pep Boys' Pep Boys.

    Looks like something out of a hideous domestic 1980's car trying to be luxurious with velour...

    I'm not looking at the velour anymore... I am looking at the Hawaiian print with neoprene on Sheer Comfort Seat Covers and I like them better than these...

    I like the velour fabric but I also like 80's and 90's jdm cars. Depending on how these black softex seats treat me during the summer and winter time i'd consider getting some slip-ons. :LOL:
