Why?
Yes they are comfortable, but after 80-100K the fake suede balls up, wears down considerably and usually looks like crap.
You're not going to find a seat that's newer, they're the same as the standard V70 seat except fot the alcantera inserts.
They will cost more and look worse in most instances.

I can say this, I own FOUR R's
