LOL, a good advertisement for thinking/researching before you speak.

I had a 2007 350Z-drove it off the lot-directly before getting this car. Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but the crossfire is nicer. And your points are mute.
1)Nissan paint is HORRIBLE!! The paint has flaws from the factory. ie bumps, orange peel, and various other abnormalities. And the clear coat "ain't worth a damn!" The paint chips on every encounter with a solid object.
2)Nissan vehicles develop CRAZY annoying squeaks, and they develop within the first few months.
Go on any Nissan forum and you will find these are EXPECTED from their vehicles! My wifes 2008 Rogue has squeaks, chipped paint, and the check engine light has come on multiple times, and we haven't even had it a year. BTW, I am meticulous at maintaining our vehicles, so don't try that lame excuse.

On the other side, I still like the Rogue (25mpg in an SUV in town), and the new 370Z is AWESOME! EVERY car has its flaws, especially performance vehicles. Deal with it, or just get a Camry.

P.S. I know that this is a wasted rant, since the OP never returns to solidify his inane comments, but I felt like voicing my experience.
