Talk about others stuff huh? Take a look at the suspension of the GM
quadrasteer pickup. The tie rods and steering knuckles look way too small.
Can you say bump and bend. I do like the composite bed though, good idea. I
had Saturns before and while the car itself was crap the body was a
different story. Panit held up and really hard to scratch.
