Your totally right.

Ask yourself: Have I ever seen a rusty Toyota Celica from 1998 to 2003?

I haven't and I live in place where there is more salt on the streets than almost anywhere else on earth. Cars making it through 10+ Ottawa winters with no rust on the body is almost unheard of.

Japanese paint quality is on a steady decline, my coworkers 2009 WRX paint was so bad the dealer had to repaint half the car. My 2004 Infiniti g35 was sub-par in the paint department.

Edit: My friend also has a beautiful Soarer. He has over 250000kms on it and it still looks and drives new. I love his car.
