His question is less stupid than you think. There's makers of sportsy cars that use licensed, relabeled seats from a brank maker, let's say Recaro. Now if he likes the seats, but not the car, this question makes sense. Why ridicule it?

By the way...
For anyone who may want to pop out the rotary accents on the seats, I found that this was very difficult to do without cracking the tabs.
Those things are designed to be put on and then stay on. Which is strange because underneath you'll find velcro tabs for securing the seat covers.
I performed the operation on cloth seats. Leather might be a different story.

Bank on the seats being designed and built by Mazda, or at the very least, by a specialty supplier (like the headlamps, for example). As a rule, when some "name" subcontractor like Recaro has input on the seats, you can bet that the carmaker's Marketing department will let everyone know, loud and long.
So why do you ask?
