Blender isn't importing mtl correctly with obj? I'm a new blender user, but have used other modelling programs before. 

I've downloaded a model file and unzipped it. 

When I import the obj into blender, it is my understanding (from here: How to import a .mtl file?) that the mtl should just import itself with it. However, when I import the obj, I just get a grey model with no texture. Is it actually importing the mtl but I'm not seeing it? Also for the record, I have changed no settings in blender.

Picture for reference:
You need to have your viewport shading set to Textured to see any textures or materials on the imported model. Press AltZ to switch to textured view or alternatively, open the properties panel with N and under Shading, tick Textured Solid.
