Nice paint job on the Del Sol.

However, regardless of what stage paintjob is on the car. I don't think a new car should have these defects. The US auto manufacturers were arrogant and cocky when they were #1. But look at them now.

Honda, Toyota, and the other JDM companies can quickly go down this road and end up like Ford and GM. Even though they might not feel the heat now. Hyundai is a growing threat with each passing year. Just wait the Chinese flood the market with their cheap econoboxes.

I remember buying a Honda and being impressed by the overall build quality. Now lookin the car over and thinking, man how quality control has fallen.

Bottomline, we should get better quality on a brand new car.
