One of the biggest reasons why aluminum hasn't found its way into cars as
much as bikes is that aluminum can't be formed with the same stamping
techniques as steel can. Forming aluminum into body panels takes newer and
more expensive techniques. Thats why only the A8 is made entirely of
aluminum, the added cost is worth the weigh savings in that big of a car.
