Default 2016 RX 350 underbody rusting

Good evening all,

my wife and I just purchased a 2016 Lexus RX. We have been super excited about the new purchase. However, while waling up my driveway today, I noticed that there was some decent rusting underneath the car. We have only owned it for 3 days now. I am sure the car has sat at the dealerships inventory lot but I didn't expect ANY rusting of a brand new car. Is this normal? I sent an email to the dealership we bought from and hope to hear something tomorrow. I have only bought 1 other new car, a corolla and to this day I have little to no rusting on the underbody.

Go back to the dealership and casually take a peek at other new RXs' and see if they look the same? Hopefully that will give some peace of mind.
