Easily is relative. Design? Sure. Manufacture? Hard to say. They would need to have a plant location with capability to manufacture the RWD 31XX platform. Maybe Wentzville has enough available capacity (too lazy to check right now). If so, that would’ve worked. If not, then they would’ve had to squeeze it into a plant making Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade/Suburban. That ain’t gonna happen for a number of rea$on$. Then there’s CAFE.
