Obviously none of you has purchased or even shopped a new Honda. If you had, you would know that Honda, at least in America, does not offer "higher grade seats" (or anything else) as a stand-alone factory option as Honda does not have factory options at all. You want nicer seats or more conveniences? Then pay more for an EX or EX-L model over an LX.

Once you factor in economies of scale, a nicer seat costs any manufacturer a trivial amount. The tooling and implementation on the factory line are where the real costs lie.

Additionally, why would Honda sell you only a better seat for a small profit, when they could force you into a luxury package for significantly more?
