Wow, the following shure is a load of crap..

" automobiles will be built with lighter HSLA steel, allowing an equally strong body with less material and better fuel economy. Many of the manufacturers who are using aluminum currently are looking at changing to HSLA steel because it is more ductile and techniques to machine and join it are well established."

Sheesh, that aluminum is REALLY hard to machine and form. The machinists of the world must ABSOLUTELY HATE the stuff!!!!

Only 1 reason to look at steel, and that is lower cost & larger, more readily available supply. And don't forget the durability issue called engineered obsolesence. Aluminum lasts to long, NO RUST EQUALS LESS REPEAT/FORCED new car sales....
