Was it really necessary to make a thread about rock chips? Really? Seriously?

Maybe yes, regarding the rock chip thread.

Are Lexus cars more prone to rock chips than comparable Benz or BMW's based on your experiences?

I have some on my hood. But they are not too bad, so I just live with them.

I recall hearing that lexus paint uses more environmentally friendly chemicals, which would in turn be more costly than conventional ones that use volatile chemicals, but in the process would be weaker.

^ I heard the same thing. But I also heard that other manufacturers are doing the same, so Lexus paint should still be on par with Infiniti, BMW, MB, etc.
