All Civics Have Tailgate Blemish

Got my new car yesterday. Must admit I wasn't excited at all about picking it up, getting a bit blase I suppose, but am very pleased with it so far. Had to turn off auto lights, far too sensitive.

One question for you all. When the guy parked it out the front of the showroom I noticed what looks like a a blemish. Looked at all of the other civics on the forecout and they're all the same. On the tailgate on the nearside just about where the Civic badge would be if it was put on that side. Looks like a crease about an inch long. Guy said he'd never seen it before and no-one else had ever mentioned it. Maybe it's because I work in Quality Assurance but it stood out a mile for me. Anyone else noticed it?

Galaxy Grey must be one of the most misleading colour names I've come across, very nice colour though and not too many around my area.

Darren, you're dead right mate... I've noticed it on mine too, surprised it's not been mentioned on this forum before. I've also checked loads of other Civics and they are all the same. Also, if you look carefully on the offside, where the Civic badge is, it's the same. I think it's the fixing points where the outer shell is fixed or welded to the inner. Doesn't say much for the build quality does it? Click the image to open in full size.
