If those things crash and catch on fire, I bet they will burn hotter than the surface of the sun.

I grew up around junk yards and body shops, and have seen lots of burned vehicles. Aluminum parts just melt.

IIRC, I read somewhere a long time ago where the early M-113 APC's had aluminium as armor so when they got hit during the Vietnam War, they burned at a higher temperature and causes a lot more casualties. If they want to make a rustless car, why not stainless steel?
