Default Paint quality

Love everything about my ES330 but really have to wonder about the quality of the finish.
I drive the same route to work in my 03 Caravan, which is without a doubt one of the crappiest vehicles ever made and I have one or two very minor stone chips.
Do the same thing in the Lexus and it seems that I am forever touching up small chips from rock salt or stones.
Is it just me?

It could be because the Caravan is higher then your car so it doesn't get hit in the "correct" spots to cause the chips. Just a shot in the dark as to a possible reason.

Makes total sense. It sure can't be superior quality of the Dodge finish!
