The 2000GT-esque C-pillar (probably the most challenging part to design for manufacturability due to size and complexity of bends) is a prime example of what will be retained because of that.

MkI and MkIII are one-off molds that likely never received aerodynamic analysis and, hence, will not see tooling for manufacturing. The remaining 5% is left for any design changes that wouldn't significantly impact the already established design for manufacturability.

Im cool with this lol I liked the Mk II some design que from the Mk III is ok ofcourse. Hope it comes in that Yamaha blue purcle scheme, what' the color called any ways?
