Leather seats starting to show cracks
I test drove a 2004 and the leather shows cracks that looked like dry desert ground.
My cousin has had his car for 4 years and his leather looks great without any sort of maintenance.
Has anyone else noticed that their seats are falling apart already?
Also, shouldn't the leather be softer? I find the TL leather to be quite stiff.

I posted in another thread earlier that my 05 driven 100 miles looks loose and puckered. I think the leather is too soft than anything else. It's been a big problem for the 04's and the problem hasn't gotten any better for 05.

You already posted about your cousin's car, and I pointed out that they are not cracks, but creases.* I also asked what car your cousin drove but you did not answer. I find it odd that you would feel the need to twice post your opinion about the leather, twice mis-state crease for cracks, and twice not state what kind of car Vinny drives.
This strikes me as a bit suspicious, or at least disingenuous - as does the low post count. Did you come here to beat up on TL's or what? Looks like it to me.

Crease: A line made by pressing, folding, or wrinkling. Vinny's leather had creases in it.
Crack: To break without complete separation of parts; fissure: The mirror cracked.

Leather crease issue?
Actually I bought my 05 TL today.
I was just concerned, that's all.
My cousin has a 6 yo RX300 , the lexus SUV. He said that his creases did not show up until the 3rd year.
