They can be shortened, lengthened or widened to accomodate various classes of vehicles. "toyota-s sharing platform with the fortuner-innova-harrier-hilux thing?"

VVA for sure will be more expensive, and probably only better suited for low volume niche vehicles. Its an all aluminum design, therefore lighter, stronger, but more dificult and expensive to manufacture. audi has definitely brought the mass production of vehicles to a new level with the MLP.
