Fit and Finish

This may be a stupid question....

What exactly does the term "fit and finish" encompass?

Thanks!

I think it has come to encompass the overall build quality of the entire car.

"fit" - how the body panels and interior trim pieces fit together, how much of a gap there is

"finish" - the quality of the paint job.

That's pretty much what I thought. I think I must have one of the newer production models. My driver's door doesn't fit exactly perfect and I do have several rattles. Maybe I should have waited for a later model.

Mike,

I don't think it's so much an earlier model. Misaligned panels and rattles are the complaint de jour for the CL-S.
