This is incorrect. There isn't a manufacturer selling cars in the U.S. that has rust problems. And by rust problems, I mean rust that will cause the car to have any actual problems, even here in the northeast.
Unscrupulous dealers still sell undercoating to ignorant customers, but any automotive authority (even Consumer Reports, ferchrissake) says don't worry about rust.
Look, I'm all for an elegant undercarriage, but it just ain't needed.
