I don't know what the car is technically made from. The Mercedes dealer told me its all aluminum. It doesn't feel as isolated as the old ones. On certain roads it feels "buzzy" for lack of a better word, sort of the feeling the aluminum bikes have, to me. My mechanic said the steel cars absorb harshness from the road and the new cars don't. Why are you putting words in quotes that I did not say?
