When was the "2021-ish" WL originally expected to be Revealed ? NOW, ~ 3 months from then (?) is the New Reveal ? What month does that make ? COVID Ain't gonna magically disappear any time soon; more than likely will"haunt us through to the New Year sometime, unless a vaccine shows up to help it to "die off" ! With the world getting back to "the new normal," travel will pickup and with it the "traveling virus".
What can you say about the WL as far as the new Italian Frame SIZE and outer dimensions & weight of the WL compared to the Wk2 ? If that's been cover elsewhere just put me in the right spot . . . THANKS . From what I can tell the Exterior Looks nearly identical . Only the interior has been "Italian-ized" ! ;) .

they are not use G platform dimensions. they are calling it Giorgio Global. So it near as I can tell it may not end up being a single set of build points but one for the Brampton and Detroit facilities. Optimized for given application and to fit the existing factory. I should be stronger and Lighter and slightly larger.

The secret sauce (has a lot of Curry) was topology optimization that were first applied on Alfa then the Pacifica, Now they have the computational data from the best handling sedan and SUV on the planet they can apply the to Jeep, Dodge CUV, the Mopar Muscle in Brampton. What has happen is the computational power is so high now vehicles are literally grown or evolved allowing the componentry to be specific to the application instead of the old model of stuff the same parts into every vehicle regardless of the application. So the term platform at FCA means nothing outside maybe some of it older models and the current build points and manufacturing windows.
