i guess that i'm just a little confused about the platform issue in general. so is the f3x built on a new chassis or is it also evolved from the e9x? if it is "new", is the new chassis part of the new modular architecture, essentially akin to VW's MQB, that i thought was emerging? if it is new and based on the modular architecture then would not the f2x logically also be?
