Alpha hardpoints affect design?

Dear Al, (and only Al),

Did the architectural hard points of Alpha have an effect on Camaro's design, ie., cowl height?

Yes, I would like to know as well. In particular, how these hard points related to the fuel tank positioning and rear seat bulkhead placement affecting available rear seat legroom.

It seems even on the Alpha derived ATS/CTS, this was a major concern. Can you elaborate?

Best regards.

And rear seat packaging. I speculate that the upcoming Alpha 2 architecture would address these issues, but that's future products and don't expect Al to comment on that.
