...and a fair amount of greenies have no interest in a V6 that only gets 30s for mpg. Most people who want the power and amenities of the HAH likely have no issue with leather.

The HAH was not ever marketed as a particularly 'green' car; just one that was more fuel efficient than any other family sedan. Oh, and faster.

Yes, the HAH overall was very poorly conceived and/or marketed by Honda. This has been batted around endlessly here- myself being one of the biggest bashers despite having one. But leather is the least of issues for the HAH. And the large majority of those in the market for a $30K car with all the bells that the HAH comes with are very possibly owners of leather jackets, if not fur.
