$$$$

Eventually we will get there but it takes a long time to get to the point where you can produce those materials in high enough volumes at low enough costs to make it appeal to a consumer.

They can. It just costs. Those little fenders on my Z06 are carbon-fiber and cost $1800 a piece unpainted, dealership price. Together that's almost $3K and doesn't include paint. Imagine if a Cobalt was made out of such? It would cost $40K. Ridiculous.
