Is it, though?
Should it be the "ultimate" goal for the ultimate driving machine brand?

It wont:

• While natural fiber-reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites offer significant benefits in sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and lightweight properties, they also present challenges. Moisture absorption leads to swelling, reduced strength, and microbial growth, limiting their use in humid or wet conditions. Poor interfacial adhesion between hydrophilic fibers and hydrophobic polymers weakens bonding, compromising durability. Surface treatments and coupling agents can improve adhesion but add complexity and cost to manufacturing, making large-scale applications less attractive.
• Furthermore, natural fibers exhibit significant variability in their properties due to differences in species, growing conditions, and processing techniques, which can lead to inconsistencies in the performance of NFRP composites.

I'll avoid for now, while you go ahead and enjoy your moldy deliminating NFRP composite roof!
