Little has changed. Its just hidden sometimes with plastic trim. Worst are the Korean cars and the Hondas, most 1997 and earlier have at least one rust hole in them. Jeeps are absolutely terrible... as are many of the Fords (sorry John). Problem is twofold, corrosion protection costs money and people wont buy the better protected car if they have to pay for what it costs to add the protection. Secondly, carmakes want us to buy new cars, if they rust out faster we buy new ones faster. Keith > Do new cars suffer from that fate?
