[QUOTE="DHG1078, post: 15315795, member: 65442"] The biggest reason is the cars usually aren't sitting in a corrosive environment like boats are most of the time. Sure it rains and snows some places, and the salts on the roads definitely don't help any, and a small portion of people do some extreme off roading through rivers and oceans and mud and such, but for the most part it's a much easier environment to deal with. It probably comes down to a combination of cost, weight, and rate of corrosion. Cars operate in a less corrosive environment [usually] than boats, and with some sound engineering will corrode fairly slowly, usually. They have calculations that given a 95% confidence interval or so over the 6-12 years the corrosion warranty lasts, the cars won't have perforations. Corrosion is a PITA though. I have been fortunate enough to not have to deal with it yet in my engineering career, but it's a highly complex animal. Changing something to prevent corrosion in one area can result in increased corrosion elsewhere, which is very easy to overlook. [/QUOTE]
