Could be the reflection but the door design line looks a bit lower too.

Nope mine are perfectly level. But the paint on one is cracking right at the top of the arch (the wheel opening half circle)
Going to go see if Lexus will offer to repaint for me. Not happy about that on a 6 month old car!!

I can see it a little, but looks like a slight door hinge adjustment would be all they can/would do

I work for Toyota/Lexus at TMMC assembly. We build Rav4, Corolla, Matrix and Lexus RX. We are the only plant outside of Japan that build Lexus. I can tell you that there should have been no way that car left the plant like that. On the final inspection lines the gaps and alignment are checked with camera equipment, and visually by at least three people. I'm surprised to see the alignment so far off.

Could you make a foto of the front-to-backdoor line when they're closed? Is there a difference?
