Thats because the French use galvanised panels on a lot or their cars.
Something a lot of other brands should think about (Honda, I'm looking at you).

Cost and the life cycle of a car in Japan is very short and a lot of their other markets don't have the same problems with corrosion that we have?

They still have far better rust protection than Fords...
