No manual trans with leather?

Love the car and we're looking at adding to our TDI family. My issue is that it looks as though you can't get leather seats with a manual transmission. Seems the only option is "leatherette" (a.k.a. plastic). I plan on putting lots of miles on this next car and VW's record with auto trans is somewhat spotty.
I cheaped out on my 2003 Jetta and got cloth seats. They're tan and they're a NIGHTMARE to keep clean, especially with kids.

VWSHPFRMN - are you sure this is sold? I was told that the two that were sent to each dealer are NOT for sale and only for test drive purposes so that orders can be taken. Are you sure you are not mistaken? The official sales date for the Passat is not until mid-September.

Please recheck your facts and I look forward to your reply!

Sorry, you are correct I ment to say it's not for sale.
I did get a chance to spend a few hours driving it and going over all the features and I must say it's well put together and quite impressive.

shipped from Europe? Isn't there some kind of issue with emissions for euro models in Us? Or is that only a problem for diesel engines?
