The folds look normal to me. While I am new to Lexus leather, in any leather I am surprised how quickly it develops creases.

Mine shows some color variations that I wonder about but not enough to really question .

I've got 45,000 miles on it. It definitely needs some TLC but the creases were what concerned me.

@spoogenet: I don't think they use real leather in the F-sports. I believe it's called Nuluxe

The F-sport has leather seats. The other parts of the interior are Nuluxe (armrest, center, dash, doors)
