Yeah that's one thing the Honda and Toyotas have been doing WAY better than anyone else and that is corrosion protection. They've come a long way from earlier days. Now we see all the other brands rotting away.
One thing I did though. When we bought our new RAV4 Hybrid last year I held out for one built in Japan. Call me superstitious but I felt with all the technology in that thing I felt I could trust actual Japanese workers over ones here. Though I have to say my Highlander was built in South Bend IN and it's been flawless. Nothing but regular maintenance. Closest thing to a "repair" was brakes in front about a year ago at 145k miles and those were original!
