    I'm curious how much of the exterior is aluminum. I've heard the hood is but I'm curious about the rest. Basically, I'm wondering what parts of the car are more prone to rust by not being aluminum. Thanks. :)

    Hood and rear hatch are the only aluminum parts.

    correct - but take heart, the 'plastic' bumpers are made from recycled plastics as well. :)
