Cheap lease, but that's about it. Too bad as they are a really decent small car, especially the MazdaSpeed versions. I friend has one and when it had 60K on it he figured it'd be used up by 100K.
What is it about Japanese automakers that they don't understand winter and rust in North America? They've been importing and making cars here long enough for them to know about rust, and dealers have to be telling the mfgrs.
OTOH, if they know people will lease, and that rust is unlikely to become much of an issue in 3 years, they can save a lot of money by using cheaper, thinner steel and not doing the corrosion protection that is commonplace in Euro makes and most domestics.
