Haha, you can see your butt imprint :P
I'd say it's a problem with the leather stretching and the glue that holds the foam to the leather not holding up and allowing the leather to pull away from the foam. Which would cause "lose" spots in the seat since it's not attached to the foam to give it support/shape. My Acrua RSX-S had something like this too, but not that bad. Mine hasn't done this so far. I'll have small imprints when I get out of the car but they're gone when I come back. If it does happen, not really a big deal to me. Can't see it when I'm sitting in the seat anyways. As long as there are no holes or tears in the leather, I'm good.

Im very suprised there is no tsb for this when so many owners are having this issue. Will take to dealer if it gets more severe.
No permanent fix, just replacing cushion and trim. I'm on my second set, might be the first to go in for this problem 3 times if it happens again.
