Other than that, this is an awsom car, along with the original grill.

When I test drove on when it first came out I noticed leather issues in the car in the show room. I have not been happy with the leather in the TL since the MMC make over in 07. I find the Type-S seats the leather bunchs and folds too easily. The leather seems nicer in the 4G, but nice supply leather if not ladid over the frame right will really mess up, it will also show wear more quickly.

I use a product called Leather CPR and have gone to that after years with Lexol. Lexol was good, just seemed to always leave a film.

leather

I went by the dealer yesterday and told them about it and they say that it is normal. The perforated leather, it will show as soon as you put a weight on the leather. On the leather which the base TL has, it does not show as much.

Its too bad, I think its the only flaw so far. I guess I will starting putting that cpr on it.
