Not to mention roughly $150-$200 Million to cover R&D, tooling and engineering costs, which is money that FoA doesn't have right now.

Could it be just a top-hat redesign? just whack a new body on the old LWB platform.

They will also save heaps in economies of scale and a simplified production line when they start using FG parts. Remember at the moment, they have to stamp different bodies, different interiors, install different transmissions, engines, etc for the FG sedans compared to the BF wagons...
