Don't forget - that car has been at several auto shows already and gets beat
all day. And it's not your avid Camaro lover either. A bunch of dumb asses clammering in and out of the car, slamming the doors, jamming the shifter back and forth, puttin' their sticky hands all over them, even picking at the edges of the stripes with their finger nails!! Really makes me
to see it. Enough to make a guy
. That's the main reason I went early and didn't stay too long. So back to the seats. The driver's seat on the IOM interior shows a lot of wear (creases, dirt etc.) But I noticed 2 things (i) the bolster was still relatively firm; and (ii) unlike the leather in my Av, the colour was NOT wearing off it. I figure the abuse that those seats have taken will be equiv. to about 5+ years of wear - maybe more if it's your summer driver like mine. And that's without proper leather conditioning. So all in all, I think they will stand up fairly well. And the black leather doesn't show the creases nearly as bad. Actually I was quite impressed with the interior build quality - minus of course the absent ABL.
