Haven't read the article, but I am going to say it's a bad alloy combined with salt in the air, salt on the roads combined with galvanic corrosion. I'll edit my post after I read this....
Edit: It's the deadly chromium layer not being wrapped in a $5000 clear coat.
They didn't do a clear coat like everything else ever made lol.
Lulz. I was updating my post when you responded.
People don't understand that stainless steel just "stains" slower than pure iron or regular steel.
And differently depending on which stainless grade alloy. (308, 316 ,15-5 ,18-10 etc)
