Doesn't feel like a great example here.
I don't anticipate FA20 and FA24 to be super different from the packaging perspective.
Hard to swap between generations? Maybe.
Hard/expensive to design a car that would fit either? I don't think so.
Either way, it will be  to learn from the experience of folks who
try FA20<->FA24 swaps. |
The only elbaration is that just because one car has something doesn't mean it is automatically easy nor cost effective for a completely different make and model to do the same. We do not have access to the Mazda and Toyota/Subaru budgets, marketing and manufacturing plans to analyze exactly why they are different but rest assured they will be. The expenses required to crash test and certify two different engines alone could be enough to make them decide it isn't warranted.
