I currently live in California and will be moving to Ohio. I was wondering how well these cars hold up in the winter rust belt area. Is there issues with rust in the paint or excessive underbody rust?

Underbody will go to crap within a year or two if they use salt there. Just surface rust though, looks ugly but isn't a big deal. You won't find many vehicles more than a few years old here without a bunch of underbody rust.

If you are that worried keep it in the garage, work from home in bad weather, run it thru a car wash to wash off the salt.
I'm on my second Infiniti and never had a rust problem with either of them.
We get plenty of snow in NJ

All I do with my cars is run is through a touchless car wash with the underbody sprayers when the weather warms up after a snow and treatment of the roads. My 07 Grand Prix has lived its entire life in this area (PA) and has 191k miles and isn't all rusted out underneath.

10 years of MD winters and mine is totally fine.

I just moved from Ohio last year from Miami, Florida. Get ready for the unpleasant shock of winter weather lol

Oh I know lol. I'm originally from Pittsburgh, PA.

I was asking because I have had a couple cars that just rust out leaving holes. Hopefully the G37 is better than that.

My car came from Chicago and the underside has some surface rust. I'll someday put por15 on all of it. But my 98 4Runner I just sold with 340k had no rust and came from Oklahoma. My Lexus also had zero rust after 9 years of living in Kansas.
