I don't understand your argument here.  What are you trying to say negatively about the article in the car section?  You know carbon fiber is stronger than steel while being lighter?  Sure it might cost more but I don't really get what you are trying to state?  We could make the cars out of wood pulp extract which is apparently are stronger than steel and carbon fiber.

Carbon fiber is also more brittle.  Steel is one of the best metals for just about every possible cirucumstance because it's ductile, can be made rust resistant, and has a reasonable durability.  The only major drawback is it's heavy.
