It is very light and incredably strong, you couldn't bend it with a sledge hammer , I know I've tired! and you need a special drillbit to drill a hole into it. I'm sure the designers thought about it when they designed it anyway.

I agree with you. We have the technology and the materials. They can build it without a "B" pillar and have the windows go down just like the convertible. It's not that hard and the weight is not that much. How much will a set of 21's or 22 inch wheels weigh that some will put on their cars? Down with the rear window.
