For sure, some vehicles rust-out worse than others but how you care for it is a large factor. Salt spray needs to be washed off constantly in the winter w a warm power washer.
Minnesota, especially in the large cities where all the freeways and major thoroughfares are, is salt damage central. The coin car washes have closing roll-up doors and spray hot water, (how else would they work there), they are awesome. The time you need to worry about it is when the weather is relatively warm, (near freezing or above), when it's below zero, the salt is inert.
The real problem is governments using sodium chlorine on roads but they say that there is no other cost-effective solution and the cost of lives lost or maimed on icy roads vs. cost of property damage to vehicles and steel bridges, etc., etc...
It's a nightmare.
