Default Seat wear!

Have a brand new GX460, 3200 miles on the clock with the semi-aniline leather (sepia color?). The driver side seat, lower edge facing the door, has signs of wear already. My 2008 with 112K miles has a lot of wear, but it seems like this new seat is wearing out faster than expected. Anyone else experience this?

Thx!

You MUST have pictures of the seat, right? Let's us see them so we can compare it to our seats. We'll let you know if that is Normal or Not.

Thats definitely excessive. At the same time there is something on your pants that is causing those marks.

It does look like you are snagging it with something?

Those marks don't look like natural wear. Looks like something was scratching it

Rivets from jeans?

i ‘lift’ yself over that part of the seat now as much as i can...

Someone has zippered pockets or something (rhinestones) on their trunk!

The leather ‘cracks’ are normal, and result from leather flex.
I have a 2015 Lux with semi-aniline leather too, and I don’t like the ‘wear’, but that’s the nature of leather. It’s still nice, and looks like leather...

My 30 year old Porsche has Nu-Lux (vinyl), at still looks Perfect!
