Fair enough - I wasn't picking an argument. I'd be upset about that too.
I remember a lot of those complaints about the Infiniti too. Many guys had rattles (mine was rattle free) and many found other such issues. IIRC there was near unanimous groaning about Nissan's thin paint and A/C condensers made from recycled Bud cans.
I think they all have issues and occasionally one slips through. Especially a 1st year model. But as far as 1st year models go I'm thrilled with the SHO. Sure there have been issues, but like I saw with the Infiniti, nothing out of the ordinary.
