Aren't Audi bodies aluminum?

The bodies of the US Postal Service delivery trucks are aluminum.

Just for the sake of argument, stainless steel is lighter than both aluminum and non-stainless steel, is a great deal tougher than aluminum and many grades are also tougher than non-stainless steel. If they put enough chromium in it, stainless steel body parts would eliminate body rust.

I think they should put fords new 3 cylinder Eco boost engine in them too. That's a joke by the way. Kind like the ******* in the White House and his 56 mpg average. An inner city shit hole community organizer, who never owned a ******* car in his life. Just a dope smoking loser, how all American, makes you feel all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it, that's a joke too.... :upyours:
