Actually I was concerned about this as well. I had rust in my glove box so I checked my wife's Tahoe and it had rust in the same spots. I went to a Caddy dealer opened up a brand new escalade, looked in the glove box and same rust.

The problem with the H2 is it's tall with no front or rear overhang so you can see everything. If you really look at other SUV's you'll see the same thing but you need to crawl under to see it.

I now have an H1 and one of the first things I checked was for rust, but there is none to be found on the bottom (yet). I don't buy that GM wants it to rust so grease can get absorbed but sounds like a creative out by one of the techs. They told me it was just surface rust. Today in 2003 cars should absolutely not rust at all, but I also believe paint should be scratch proof.
