Default 2011 models still have paint bubbles

Just bought a 2011 Red 370Z Touring with Sport Package.
Traded in my 2009 Red 370Z with Sport Package. Got a great deal on both, BTW. One of the reasons I traded was to hopefully get rid of the paint bubble issue the 2009 had. I spent hours checking the car prior to buying. The temperature just hit 95 degrees today and the bubbles are on the 2011 model as well. Sounds from all the posts like the bubbles are an issue on all the colors so it would not have done me any good to go with a different color. It's unfortunate but it appears it's an issue I'll have to live with in order to enjoy the car I love. I will be taking it to the local dealer this summer to see what can be done. FYI, be careful when hand waxing. That put so many scratches on my 2009 I had to have a body shop wax it with an orbital buffer. It looked great but the buffer took flecks of paint off the bumpers in locations where it previously had swirls but wasn't missing any paint.

I just started noticing this on my 2011 gun metallic...I don't think it's right that we just have to live with it as if it was a normal thing...I'm planning to call Nissan and will fight this as longs as I have to!
