Chevy, come on. You’re sponsoring MLB’s “Play of the Game” by calling it the High Strength Steel Play but WTF. If the player making the play is more than 10 years old can we call it the Rusted to Shit and Falling Off Its Frame Play? The Rotted Cab Mounts Play? The Perforated Wheel Wells Play? The Won’t Pass Safety Inspection Because Of Holes In The Body Play?

Give it a rest already. Aluminum may not be without its faults, but We Get It, Chevy. Your truck beds are made of Steel. I know, I can see the evidence falling off the average old truck bouncing down our pothole-ridden frostheaved roads right now.

I just think they’re going to look extra foolish when they finally come up with a way of not making their truck bodies rust, namely, probably something other than HIGH STRENGTH STEEL.

I would like a carbon fiber trunk lid and hood... maybe front fenders.  Maybe high strength steel unibody with carbon fiber panels?   Compact hatch coming in at 2250lbs pushing 310hp from a turbo 2.5?   Yes please.  It probably would even get 35mpg....

I also laugh because my old truck is made of Really Thick Steel which is probably stronger in terms of dent resistance than any modern anything. It’s also heavy.
