*** begin quote ***
The bottom line is that Ford is going over to aluminum chiefly to make it politically feasible to continue building a mass-market full-size truck. As I have ranted about previously, the “driver” is not market demand so much as government mandate.

So here we have again politicians and bureaucrats making the market conform to their wishes.
And yet everyone claims that the USA is “free”.
Guess I have the wrong dictionary?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/free
*** begin quote ***
free adjective, freer, freest.
{Extraneous Deleted}
5.exempt from external authority, interference, restriction, etc., as a person or one’s will, thought, choice, action, etc.; independent; unrestricted.
*** end quote ***
So there is no ECONOMIC justification to buy one of these.
Argh!
