Any 2008 Sport with leather out there?

Have a question for those that did get Sports w/ leather. Was navigation mandatory with the leather? The reason why i'm asking is because the dealer is telling me that Toyota is packaging the 2 together and this is the only way to get leather in a Sport...other than going Toyota certified aftermarket. Thanks!!!

Untrue. In your particular market, the packages may be set up so that leather + nav is the only way to get it in a Sport.

In other geographic locations (like mine, Denver), you can get a Sport with leather but without nav. Go to www.toyota.com and select "Build and Price My Toyota," putting in ZIP codes other than your own, and you'll see the other different packages available.

Toyota appears to be following a usual pattern for them: Leather more available across the model line in northern climates; less available in southern climates.

Agree completely. I have a Sport/leather without NAV. It is definitely market/location driven.

Thanks for the info. I live in Northern California/Bay Area. I want a Sport with leather and no navi, but they dont seem to be making them for my area. Maybe I should drive to your town

Or fly, and drive it back. I've done that before with the broker I use. Twice in the past the Camrys I wanted were in Phoenix, so I flew down and drove it back to Denver.
