lets put this into perspective guys,
yes that rust is bad on a 10 year old car.
and yes you would expect something like that from the 70's
HOWEVER,
even with all modern technology,and able to work out where water will pool and everything, no car can be tested on longevity for rust, so if a car rusts after 10 years, well, crap you know. at the time, it may have seemed like a rust proof design, but time takes its toll. not much we can do unfortunately.
im sure ford will be seeing examples of this now, and on newer cars, and will put that learning into development of newer models. but that being said, its not like they road test them for 10 years before releasing them!
