Does anyone else have this? (We all run out to check our cars.) I wonder whether the rust may be coming from somewhere else.

No rust there on my 2020 Giulia (which sat for three months waiting to be delivered during Covid).

Anyone know how many Giulias have been sold in China?

Actually, I went to another dealer today and checked their cars in the show room and the test drive ones, I am glad to know they all have scratched bolts, yet none of them got the rust; The salesman there suggests it's totally possible that someone opened the hood on a rainy day or could just have been left in the lot for too long; I wasn't able to check their stock cars though, it's in another lot off the premise;

So, I would say that car I was looking is FINE, I shouldn't assume it will have issue more than another Giulia;

BUT, I also found out that the car I was looking at was actually transfered from the dealer I just visited today after I paid deposit -- it wasn't sit in the port, but just the lot of another dealer; Gosh, I had been told how hard they were trying to proceed and deal with the custom the whole week, now I feel like a fool LoL;

I chose that dealer only cause it's next to a nice riverside park complex so I could spare some quality time while waiting for the service. I guess now I shall just try to get my deposit back;

Maybe you dodged a bullet. If sales side of that dealer is so bad, the service side may also be.
