To the point of cars with the same chassis, but different body. The vehicross is a 2 door trooper with a new body, and some suspension tweaks and other things. I guess they kept the chassis because it was proven, and reliable.
In times like these, a huge, moded rebranded v8 f-150 is going to cost a lot. Unfortunatly most will not be able to afford it. Just like the 2010 chevy volt for ONLY 40 grand! Companies other than the failing 3 should take advantage of this time. I guess Honda is making a chevy volt competitor for under 20 grand!
