Rust Underneath Brand New XC90

I recently purchased a brand new XC90 about two months ago. I was underneath the car this weekend and noticed a lot of rust had already formed. Is this normal? Car only has 5k milers on it.

Any regular steel will rust even if it is just moisture in the air that contacts. Those areas are not stainless steel but regular steel. You are showing us the exhaust system which does rust at flanges and hangers.
