If people are not willing to speak of panel gaps with regards to.measuring them then I guess it's not worth discussing in a comparative analysis.

Otherwise it's just nonsensical discussion since we can't see the gap in the photos..

All car gaps vary somewhat. Heres a Nissan.

Just got my car two days ago. Looked at panel gaps pretty closely but I can't complain.

Any panel gap that is discernible without measurement is too much IMO. This is 2020 not 1988 no excuse, none.
