Driveshaft, nexus hub, winter riding

I ride to work all year in Chicago suburbs. Weather is very hard on
the bike, particularly salt and slush in winter. I carry the bike on
the back of my car to get to the trailhead each day, so it gets
additional exposure when I'm driving. I'm considering a Dynamic
bicycle, which has a drive shaft and nexus hub. Does anyone have
experience with these components getting a lot of exposure to
elements, particularly rain, snow and salt? I ride on paved trail so
dirt and grit isn't much of an issue. I sent the company an email last
weekend asking the same question, but haven't heard anything back, not
a ringing endorsement for their sales support.
thanks

Internal hubs are great in winter conditions. Breezer bikes came out
with several internal gear commuter bikes. http://www.icebike.org/
