Yes, zincrometals and corrosion-resist coatings have made a huge difference in snow belt states. I posted earlier about Ford's new self-healing paint. This is a huge change! When I was growing up in upstate NY, we'd see brand new Cadillac's reduced to piles of rust after 3 winters. (this tells you that I am an old fart) 
Porsche & Audi pioneered 2-sided Galvineel and now that most of the industry uses at least 1-sided, very few rust-through warranty's have to be honored.
Anyone know whether the Z uses 1-sided or 2-sided Galvineel?
