[QUOTE="01L2Cobra, post: 3010484, member: 19024"] Yes but it is cheaper now than in say 4 years from now. It still makes no since to switch over everything else and leave just one car on an old outdated platform. Money would be saved between sharing parts rather than continuing to make old parts for one particular line of cars in one market. Why do you think the Ford's European operations went with the C1-Plus rather than the Mazda CD3 platform besides the inability of the CD3 to accept Volvo's straight-5 engines? What do you really think happened to the DEW98? There were only 3 cars being built off of it and it became far less expensive to switch over to a C1 based design. So it was dropped from every car outside of the Jag and they may even be moving the S-Type over to the XJ's aluminum chassis which would mean in 09 it too switches over to a C1 based platform.
