Agreed overall, though I think that last sentence is probably a very good thing.

If OEMs improve their product so that it does not require an expensive cosmetic rust repair at 10 years, but instead the cosmetic problem is hidden so the car lasts an extra 5-7 years before becoming a throwaway product, the consumer has a net win overall.
