>Three brands: Economy, Sport, Premium
Only two engines, each with turbo options.

> Turbo 4 between 275-325hp
> V8 making ~450hp NA
> Turbo V8 making 600+hp
Only three chassis:
>Small with a mirrored FF or RR layout in addition to FR.
>Midsize chassis is AWD capable and can accommodate the larger V8 when in Coupe configuration.
>Large chassis is AWD capable and has a wagon variant.
What would /o/ do different or add? I feel like this covers all the major configurations and layouts.

The idea was to cover as many types and layouts of car while using as little chassis and engine options as possible - to cut costs.
Virtually everything would share parts to some degree, and there is performance option at every price point.

Both, transverse for microhatch and MR roadster, longitudinal for small hatch and FR roadster. Good question.
The FR packaging would already exist for the I4 on the midsized chassis, so it wouldn't drive cost up considerably to have a transverse engine/trans package also.

So

I think the V8 turbo should be more like 700+ like 750 considering the Hellcat and Ecoboost V8 coming.
