2015 Acura TLX uses few aluminum body parts/panels. I tested that today and found that TLX's hood is aluminum! So no need to worry about rust on hood. I wish exterior panels on doors were made of aluminum as well.
That's REALLY good to know.One downside of Aluminum is that when it catches fire, the fire cannot be extinguished by normal means since it produces oxygen when it burns. Aircraft that catch fire had to be buried in dirt to put out the flames. I remember this "feature" when studying fire control.
Maybe they can mix an additive to fix this issue? I guess stay away from burning your alluminum would be wise.
