got an uncle that works at the plant in valcourt, pretty high up, first designs are about one year before the launch of a new model (XP - 2002), but they change so much from experiences with the current model that they dont even look close to the original drawings, he told me the XP was mostly done except for smoe finishing touches (alot of them) in 2005.
Drawings of body panels dont mean ch!t to me, show me the suspension setup and motors.
Sounds fair! Here! this is what they had in early 2006. like i said its a 6 page article. You can clearly see the start of the rear suspension in september 2006.
By december they had a working model in a clay sculpting booth. All of this was preceded by the purchase of "Vehicle Dynamic Modeling" Software in 2001 that set it all in motion.
