Why does that Porsche-designed Studebaker reminds me the Aero Willys?

I was actually considering another approach, such as fitting the Corvair engine into a more conventional front-engined model. Not easy to beat the economics of scale from the 230 and 250cu.in. straight-6 or the 4-pot 153, but it would be quite interesting to say the least, just like those trucks converted to Diesel with air-cooled Deutz engines in Argentina instead of something more conventional such as a water-cooled Perkins.
