I don't see any newer cars with rust though. I never saw a W140, R129, W210, W202 with rust. Newer rust proofing technoligy is great. My Toyota has been in New England since new and there is not a spot of rust underneath that car, or on the doors. The exhaust looks like brand new!(I think it's stainless) I really think the rust problem was solved in the early 90's. Newer W126's also seem to hold up better. I have yet to see a post 86 one rusted out.
