The MkV is not a tribute to Dick's car, not even close. They "should" have replicated it given that they had a perfect pair (they had the digital body scans of 3035 and have been forever set free from fear of CS lawsuits) but chose not to, one can only presume why not. But the notion of being unable to fit a correct body to their chassis seems a very unlikely excuse.
