+1 use meguiars gold class leather conditioner will bring these seats back to a shine. I know you have a dog, and the seats probably take a beating!!

yeah, the seats have taken a beating. how do i touch them up? i usually put armor all brand leather conditioner but that just makes it nice and slipper (i like it like that anyway)

i love the black interior, that and the fact it had a spoiler was the reason i bought this one over the other TL's i was looking at.

i'd love some polish. one of these days once the pollen is gone, ndub and i are going to get together and put a good coat of wax on.

nahh, that's just my driveway. if i don't back my car in, then it looks like my drivers rear strut is blown.

if your gonna spend the cheese on a V8 R8 ($114,000) why not spend the extra cash for the badass one.. ($140,000)

b/c forever, you will have an R8, that will always be followed by the phrase. "but its just the v8"

wtf.

time for a trade in?
anybody who pays 100k for a car can take a small loss.

and how can you tell the difference from last years? they still sell the v8
