Why waste money on r&d when you can buy the done deal and use your money to improve everything else on your car?

It's the heart of the car and the manufacturer that builds it knows how it functions the best and can build a car around it. Sure you can use it from another manufacturer but I doubt you understand it as well as the manufacturer itself

>not realizing that car companies don’t make most of the parts on their vehicles and more assemblers than top to bottom manufacturers. From interiors to transmissions to headlights to wiring looks to screens.

Then you’ve got subcontracor assemblers like Magna Steyr. They make the TT for audi, the Supra for Toyota, and a bunch of other vehicles for other car companies.

Cars that already have a super slanted rear glass and tiny rear deck and would've made tons of sense as liftbacks, but have retarded tiny regular trunk openings anyway.

>inb4 but muh rigidity muh handling
No one's stopping you from installing a strut bar in a liftback. You will however NEVER be able to carry even a moderately large item in a grocery hole.

Brainlet take that doesn't understand how companies work.

If you are going to use a company's engine, like Toyota engines in a Lotus, you are working as closely with that engine manufacturer as the engine department would work with the chassis department internally. Only kit car build-tier cars wouldn't have immediate phone/e-mail access to the engine engineers.

There's also cases where different manufacturers have different specialties. Yamaha seems to be a popular go-to for specialty performance engines, probably because of their motorcycle/high revving experience.

Personally it's
>running boards / step boards on a car with lift height under 1 foot, are you seriously so out of shape you can't step up 12 inches at a time?

>Designed to LOOK fast but isn't (this doesn't include things like the ford probe that were fast when they came out but have aged poorly, just shit like the FRS/Toyotaboru, new dodge dart, and other bullshit)

>uses sound system to "pump" the exhaust noises into the cabin

>"AWD" crossovers with 4~6 inches of ground clearance
