With enough money you could do it...  my best friend rode in a VW bus (split-window) that had been modified by the local Porsche racing team.  It would do 100  mph without breaking a sweat; the only visual clue was the Mercedes wheels.

I guess I don't understand the issue...  if customers are willing to pay the price and the builder is willing to make them, multiple formats seems like a sales booster.   Does Cynthia have a bad rap for delivering?

As a customer you're free to not deal with a certain builder, just as a builder can ignore customers.
