Well, GM does have a tendency to be a bit more pragmatic when it comes to their engineering. Ford likes to do big, bold, attention grabbing things in order to help market their product -even if it isn't the best way to do things, from an ownership standpoint. Just the impression that I've got of the two over the last decade or so.

So I don't see GM going ALL aluminum. There isn't really much in the way of a practical or marketing benefit. Plus, GM seems to absolutely love doing mixed materials -more so than any other automaker I can think of.
