cool.

I can imagine some certain percentage of any luxury/sport vehicles would come with this problem.

Our Leather is perfect but it's great, alot better than what's in those pictures. I love how our leather is soo soft and supple and any of the complaints we have about our leather probably only stems from having soft leather. :P

Egads, those are some butt-ugly interiors in those photos...

dang that first photo makes my butt prints look insignificant.

A bit off tpoic, but Infiniti has to win the award for the most illogically placed power seat controls on any car. Who looks for seat controls there?

Damn they put ugly seats in those things....

Better than GM SUV seats. The thigh bolsters are so weak that my '97 Tahoe's driver's side left thigh support was cracked and rippled in a matter of a couple of years. My dad's XLD is doing the same thing in the same spot, with 10k miles.

This is why I FREAK when people sit on the thigh bolsters in my car.

uh, it looks like I am not even sitting in my seat when I drive compared to the train wreck condition those seats are in. What color is the one - it would be too kind to call it orange - holy crap what is that. This is the G35? I love my seats...I love my seats...I love my seats

On my 03.5 G35S the leather was peeling off the base of the driver's seat in the front. When I ran my fingers along the bottom crease I found that not only was the leather coming off, but the staples which held the leather in place were protruding. I actually cut my finger on the staples. Cheap cheap cheap

That is the Brick interior in the FX35/45.

Maybe now everyone will quit whining about wrinkles and butt prints and just get on with driving. :jump2:

neuronbob

I agree. Can we stop bitching about the buttprints in our car now?

Those are some hella messed up seats.

Speaking of butt prints...are dealers doing anything about this? I am going in on Monday for Door alignment, Headliner etc...will they even care about butt prints? Whats the fix - new seat? Are new TL's showing prints too?

Well all the leather cars I have owned have shown some type of leather wear. Depends on how you take care of it, and how often you put conditioner on it. It has nothing to do with the brand.

Rememeber the softer the seat, the more chance of it tearing or having problems. The TL has a greater chance of this. People complained on butt imprints.....

prophet_RENAMED

some of those seats are HORRIBLE. Wrinkles is one thing but when leather folds thats just plain ridiculous.

BarryH

At near $50K, that kind of deterioration with so few miles is inexcusable. I know you guys hate European cars, but you don't see leather issues like you see with Nissan/Infiniti and Honda/Acura. Of the Japanese brands, Toyota/Lexus does seem to get it right though. If it's not the leather itself, it has to be the design of the bolsters which would appear not to be resilient enough. Sucks either way.

Speaking of wrinkles. Is there some way to prevent them? Use some type of product?

That's the same type of thing that happens in my TL ... oh well

Leather wrinkles......get over it!!

I can't believe people are complaining of wrinkles and small butt prints in the leather. If it were as bad as the one in the picture, yeah..that's bad..but from what I've seen of the TL's wrinkles, it's just normal for leather to stretch like that. If you want a seat with no wrinkles, get vinyl.

Sorry to rain on this parade but my dealer has had to order new 'skins'for my back seat...no questions asked. After having a 130 lb passenger in the back after covering 1800 miles over 3 days, my back seat looked worse than any of the pictures shown. Mind you...one week later and the seats have 'restored'themselves.

Animate

I heard they do that so that they can use the same drivers seats in the US that they use in Japan...Of course, over there, right-hand-drive means those controls are where they should be...between the seat and the door. But here they only get in the way. If that's true, it's not just cheap, but incredibly lazy, IMO.

The switches are in the same places in Japan. The FX is not for sale in Japan.
