Do you have different (enviromental)requirements for car paints etc?
I remember reading something about 'paint peeling off' from a NA
Peugeot owner. Never happened here.
Rusted Peugeots (after 1987) is totally unknown thing here at Europe.
Peugeot used to have very, very bad reputation in rust prevention.
Then in late 1980's they made complete turn around.
In Sweden they have made car corrosion study like every year since
the beginning of 90's.
And in those reports Peugeot always excels.
