I don't think iron is an alloy, since it's an element.  What I 
usually say is all-aluminum, but I wouldn't be opposed to an exotic 
magnesium valve cover or something.

The G35 has all the electronic crap that this thread was started in 
disgust of.  I also wouldn't be caught dead in that car because of 
the way it looks.  It may be a fairly tasteful design, but I find it 
ugly as sin.  That's not meant to be a formal design criticism, just 
my gut reaction.  Maybe the 350Z fits the bill (not sure if it has a 
back seat or an aluminum engine).

But I'll never drive a Nissan, at least not in the USA, no matter how 
much of them Renault owns.  No American Alfista should drive a 
Nissan, after the way they cheated (politically, not on the track) in 
'70s Trans-Am racing.  (Pardon me, that's just my reading of the 
history.)
