They should be, this isn't Toyota, they can't afford to lose even one customer. They also have less people to work with. Still go to here though.

This makes me NOT want to buy a Kizashi now. I love the car, but I'm picky about the finish. Most new cars have thin paint, but looking at the pics here really concerns me.

My thinking is that the issue is currently resolved. Most of the new members are not having problems. The two sticky posts we made to try to narrow down what colors and manufacture dates actually had problems.

Just wanted to say I am a new member (just bought car July 3rd) and already have single paint chip (by the 6th). Getting clear bra- but I couldn't get it done quick enough! I am waiting till the 9th. The paint on this car is WEAK. It looks awsome but is so weak I couldn't make it more than 3 days before my first chip. And that's knowing about the suspect paint and driving accordingly.

My Ice Blue was located and shipped to my dealer late June. It came with the clear bra and hope that keeps my paint under control. I did just notice that it was made in December 2009. I was assuming it was made more recently.

I just purchased a Silver Platinum SLS AWD build date shows 01/10. I have 2 paint chips after 259 miles. I did touch them up, wet sanded and polished...
