But on a serious note - leave that huge body off - take several feet out of the floorpan and sit a Code 130R body on it powered by a 2.0 Turbo. Who cares if it's got a live rear axle. And to keep costs down make it in China.
The Chinese are coming and will not be stopped. So if they are coming let them come with cheap fun little cars you can toss around on a twisty road, even if they do bounce and wiggle over uneven surfaces.
Hell, that just adds to the fun. We older guys know well what it's like to be 8 or 9 tenths hard into a corner when the live axle jumps sideways over a pothole you didn't see and suddenly you're at 10 tenths with a fist full of opposite lock...
And if you avoided the ditch, you grin all the way home, even if your behind is still puckering a little....
I don't need perfection or extreme performance - I want fun factor. And often that comes from the right kind of deficiencies mixed with the right kind of proficiencies such as RWD and the added control it gives you.

I started a thread about that very thing about a year or two ago. It seemed like a good idea to me at the time. So good, I ran it past someone at GM who is a platform architect. He said, forget it, the Wuling architecture would never pass US crash regs.
I don't mind ugly but I do mind unfinished - how much to paint the window surrounds on the doors black to match the other windows?
So do it on the next one...
I'm with you! Certainly there'd be a niche for a $19,000 RWD, car. Maybe even make a "Nomad" version for both work and play.
