OK, I’m going to ask a question/pose a thought that I will most certainly regret, but here goes:

Considering that “platform” does not mean “same chassis,” but rather a shared set of common design, engineering, and production efforts, as well as major components that allows a vehicle to be manufactured on a shared assembly line, is there any possibility the FT86 could be adapted to fit within the new Subaru shared platform for the 2nd gen?

In other words, perhaps the 2nd gen could retain it’s excellent chassis, but everything else could be modified during the re-design to fit within the new platform (the shared tooling, parts, assembly processes).
