Furthermore, designs are dictated more than ever by disparate sets of regulations from different countries. The designers' hands are tied in order to accommodate different standards of crash-worthiness, pedestrian safety, etc.
The FCA designers couldn't do much different with the design of the Wagoneer, even if they wanted to.
