so what happens when an entirely-cast car is in even a minor accident? it's all garbage. just like your cast aluminum grille.

there's no way to repair cast and ensure the structural integrity. when cast anything has forces applied to them beyond the design specs, they fracture in a million different ways.

hit a curb, and chip an a-arm mount? car is garbage, because they can't repair the cast while ensuring the rest of the sub frame is not compromised.
