Gutsy move by Ford. Hope they pull it off. There will be any number of wags claiming Aluminum will be difficult/impossible to repair after a collision... but if Ford preps their shop people right, it shouldn't be any more difficult than steel.
What's even more amazing to me is that they're claiming prices will not go up (significantly or at all)... this could mark a milestone for aluminum use in automobiles.
Note that there are areas that are still steel, because it's still too hard to make them in aluminum... hence 97% instead of 100...
