I love my cars and all, but GM leather, especially Pontiac leather - is bottom of the barrel leather.

Sit in a Cadillac, then Oldsmobile and Buick then come back to a Pontiac and you will see where GM uses good leather.

My driver's seat on my 97 GT has the worst leather cracking / damage you could imagine even before it hit 30K miles. On my 00GTP it is noticeably better.

I'll try to take some pics and post them later on, just so you can see the difference.
