 From what I hear is that they are the same body, with fifferent noses
and mechanicals. It is no problem to desigh a vehicle for drive at
either and/or both ends. Triumph's Toledo was designed for FWD but
was sold in RWD (they missed the boat on 4WD). Most Japanese cars are
available with 4WD option... say an SV30 Camry Vista 4WD (=Lexus
GS300) the other day...

Whatrever, likt the old LT/Sprinter, the new one is butt-UGLY.
