Its not the body panels that cause the problem, its the way the charge is generated in the first place.
The static (which is what the spark is, im sure i dont need to tell you that though) is generated in your body and clothes due to the friction when you get out of your car or when youre driving. If you slide out of nylon seats when you get out of your car, or your feet are moving around on nylon/polyester carpet when youre driving then thats when the charge is built up.
Only certain materials build up the charge. Wool doesnt (well not much anyway), neither does leather.
So, if you've got wool or leather materials in the seats and carpets, you cant get the charge in the first place, and you cant get zapped. Make sense? 
That's why you *will* get zapped on the cheaper cars, as they tend to use more man made fibres in seats and carpets, which increase the chance of the charge building up.
