Years ago everyone laughed when they started to use aluminum cylinder heads, now everyone does. then they started laughing at aluminum blocks, a good majority are using aluminum blocks now! now everyone is laughing at an aluminum body! guess what everyone will be going to aluminum body`s. infact a lot of manuf have been using aluminum body panels for at least 10 years!
Longer than that... Half-ton Fords have had aluminum hoods since the 1997 model year. A handful of vehicles were around with 'em before that.
But nobody has made three quarters of a million all-aluminum vehicles in a year. The technology involved in doing so on that scale is astounding!!
