Rust Spots

I was washing the '01 9-5 wagon over the weekend. After rinse off the car at the touchless car wash, I found many tiny rust spots all over the car: hood, doors, fenders, etc. you name it, especially bad on the rear gate, near the license plate. The spots are barely the size of sesame seeds, and often circular ring shaped (with no rust in the middle of the "sesame seed). What gives? Aren't SAAB's supposed to be galvanized? That was one of the leading reasons why I picked the SAAB over an Outback. All through the years that I had my old 528, never had this problem. BTW, as I rub off the spots, there is no visible paint damage under neath. I immediately rubbed all the spots off, and put on a layer of wax for the first time; never waxed this car before because the factory paint had to cure.
