If they actually follow through on making the Slate as privacy friendly as they claim in this article, and it doesn't have any major flaws, I'm gonna go ahead and say this is perhaps one of the best options for someone in need of a mini-truck/SUV hybrid.

If the bed is long enough and shaped right, is there anything else fundamentally bad about unibody architecture?

    Yes, repairability. If my quarter panel gets damaged on my truck, i can replace it and not total the truck.

    Not sure why the downvotes. Folks dont know how cars work or clearly havent worked on them. Body on frame is the best for repair and longevity.

    Also unibody rust=totaled.
