    This is 100% it.

    All I want is a modular car system. Everything modular. Dashboard. Body panels. Whatever. I want 3+ cars possible on one frame, and to not need anything more than basic tools to swap parts around.

      Gm said they’d build a sled drivetrain that they could just plop bodies on top of but that never happened sadly.

        Wonder why? Seems to me like a money printing machine for them, the factory and non- factory repair shops and the aftermarket.

        Unless it’s seen as a way to hide your car from illegal activities, which well now that I think about it is probably the reason they didn’t follow through with the idea.

          Probably a balance between it would make it cheap for them to produce, but also bring down the barrier to entry for third party manufacturers to compete with them.
