uncomfortable front seat
I must be crazy, or maybe im just used to bigger and cushier seats in my lx470, but i took the MB out for another one hour drive today, and STILL find the driver's seat uncomfortable. (The drive itself is nothing short of superb though and a ton of fun to drive!!!).
There is a "T" shaped stitching pattern in the back of the seat, and for whatever reason, where the two lines of stitching meet to form that "T" hits my upper mid back in just the wrong way. Another issue are those side supports on the back...just very pronounced; more so than any other SUV Ive tested. Must fore of a tighter fit I guess for a sportier feel maybe?? Lastly, they are just not nearly as soft as im used to. They are much more firm. Am I just nuts here or what?? Does anyone have any similar findings at all???? If it was not for this seating issue, I would have bought this by now.

You might try driving a model with Multi Contour Seats... There are a lot more adjustments you can try out.
The seats in our Lexus are softer as well, but I really don't like them as much as the MB. They are so soft, that there is not any sporty feel to the at all... Go around a corner and I am constantly having to brace myself to keep from sliding around on the seat.
