I currently own an 07 S2000 for tracking purposes and an 03 Maxima for the daily. I will admit that the paint quality on the maxima is inferior compared to that of the s. However, with regular preventative measures, the paint can be kept in great condition for many years. In other words, it's upto the user. My 03 max has the normal rock chips on the front bumper (which is inevitable unless you get a clearbra or something) but the overall paint quality is still in excellent condition. I wash every other week and do a full detail every quarter or two. Very small investment of time and effort but the result pays off very nicely.
