I had real leather installed in my car by a company in Atlanta...it was the first mod so to speak..I worked at a Chevy dealer and was very familar with what GM offers in the way of "leather interiors" ...... what GM passes off for leather looks like crap in a very short time..it does not wear well to say the least..now after five years my interior still loooks great....It was the best thing I ever did to this car...I paid $770 which I thought was a bargan.

IMO, the factory leather isn't very good quality, I swapped mine from leather to factory cloth seats.
If your going to get leather , get the good/$$$ stuff!
