Not necessarily. I had a Toyota Supra MK4 Twin Turbo. Made from 1994 to 1998. It became a niche car. After they quit making them, it became so desirable, that people were paying up to three times the original sticker price. For used ones!
GaryH, I can not even get to a shop to do that. I also look at the Maverick and Ridgeline with audible backup warning alerts and fold down rear seats, and say, why them Hyundai? Why not the Santa Cruz?!?. They have everything ( minus the trunk and cooled seats for the Maverick ) the Santa Cruz has (except the self leveling shocks ) and even more.Well…if a chipping chrome front piece could make you do a lemon law, maybe you just don’t like it more than a bit? Not that it should do this….but the issue can be mostly fixed with PPT. I could see a lemon law for trans or engine, or even bad paint.
Good luck getting your Cruz swapped.
