48% galvanized??.... shameful!! Back in '86, Chrysler finally reached 100% galvanized on their Caravan/Voyager. I worked at Chrysler at the time, and I remember seeing the numbers. The expected life of the body against rust was 11 years... far beyond the 5-year rust-through warranty. The vehicle was over-engineered for rust protection. In my department we were amazed that Chrysler didn't (or couldn't) find a way to capitalize on this engineering, either through warranty or through advertisement.
