All SVX bodies (and, being unibody cars, that's every painted surface - practically the whole car) were electroplated with zinc before the painting process, so rust isn't an issue. I have *never* seen rust on an SVX, and I saw many in VT over the 3 years I lived there.
Okay, now for the exception, because there is always an exception. If an SVX is involved in an accident, and the damaged sheetmetal is straightened, the rust inhibitor can be compromised. Example? My car. I have a few paint bubbles starting. In order to restore the car, including the rust inhibitor, to its original condition, I'm looking into having the entire quarter panel replaced with a new one.
So, for the answer I should have provided, instead of the above, look below:
Rust is not a problem on the SVX.
