I'm thinking that's a cost cutting measure for Nissan. They produce the lightest vehicle possible that conforms to safety regulations throughout the world. One set of tools instead of worrying about getting carbon fiber this, differential that, etc. etc.

Again, the body is already aluminum, so you're pretty close to the edge as you can get in terms of shedding weight without going crazy with carbon fiber.
