Some years ago, a member posted pictures of his white Cultus. He was horrified to see rust behind the rear lights and elsewhere. My sister in law's Cultus was purchased brand new in 2009. You can see the same situation inside the bonnet.
Two years ago topic of repainted brand new cars even surfaced. Someone in my extended family faced the same issue with his Corolla. The company refused to agree till he threatened them with dire consequences because he works for some government Press.
But yes, at least one can go back to the showrooms in case of local vehicles.
