Picked this beauty up yesterday 8 months after placing the order.

Also got the dealer to add the anniversary badges and change the other badges to black.

If the car is brand new, why does the seat leather look like it's been sat in for 3 years?

Some (all?) of those wrinkles will work out once the car sits in the sun for a few hours. I put a new leather seat cover on my Honda Ridgeline and it had some serious wrinkles when I was done that worried me. A couple of days sitting in a parking lot in the sun and they are were all gone.

Alternately, the OP can take a hair dryer to speed up the process if he/she likes. There are a lot of youtube videos on this.

It’s just so lame, the stock seats offer really bad support. I just shake around the seats gripping tight on the steering wheel and tightening my core any time I driving spiritedly. Maybe I’ll upgrade to a recaro seat

Congrats mate! I am also considering ordering one. How do you feel about the steering wheel insert that was previously a better material and now just plastic? From looking at it online, it doesn't look that bad but I haven't felt it yet.

I mean idk how often I look at my steering wheel. It really doesn’t bother me. It’s not like I rest my hands on there at all.

Yeah it's a bit of a shame that it is now plastic rather then leather but not going to lose sleep over it
