Probably the cost-effectiveness, and it might eventually be seen as more difficult to repair than sheetmetal or fiberglass. BTW it does sound quite surprising that GM would even attempt to use carbon fiber for such application due to the high sales volume, while it would seem easier to use fiberglass like it did not just with the Corvette but also with the Chevrolet Lumina APV, Oldsmobile Silhouette and Pontiac Trans Sport.
OTOH maybe it would be worth to consider using some vegetable fibers instead, such as the Agave sisalana.
