A higher strength-to-weight ratio, so a car would be as strong as it is now but weigh less if it was the same size. A lighter car would require less metal to make and, all else being equal, get better fuel economy than a heavier one. Conversely, a stronger metal would allow them to make the car larger with the same weight of material. This would make the car more desirable to the customer, because people like to own larger cars.
