First I'v heard about the soft leather option as I bought my 98 C70 used. I have noticed that my leather is fading around the border area of the seat. I put leather conditioner on the seats every month but this are just seems to fade with wear. I have the light grey leather so it looks a little dirty in this area but it's just the fading taking place. Can something be done to get the color back?

Ouch, that can't be cheap. That sucks that it's not under warranty.
