Most people are easily wowed by buzzwords and don't have an eye for quality. The salesman says their Lexus has a leather interior and they think "Oh, leather, Lexus has leather, Mercedes has leather, Porsche has leather, they are all equivalent." In reality, even from the same company there is a big difference between, say, Dakota leather and Nappa or Novillo. I agree with you, Lexus' leather feels like cheap vinyl (but I'm not a fan of the leather in my 335is, either)
