Magnisium is a material that brings major cons with its pros. Its expensive, and it is highly flamable and has a service life in structural use. Gm has been using it in applications as well as ford and all other makes. Its not new to the auto industry. Its cons far outweight the pro's (pun intended). Carbon fiber and high strength steel are better alternatives IMO to go along with the current use of aluminum.
