It's not that aluminum is an unfamiliar material or that it can't be machined and formed. And I'm sure there are machinists who are experts in working with aluminum.

But the fact remains that automobiles are made of steel. The machines that make cars make them out of steel. The machinists that build cars have built them out of steel for generations.

It's a much less expensive jump to convert from steel to HSLA steel than to convert a plant from steel to aluminum.

Ask VW if you don't believe me.
