Ya really think so? Does the body of a uni-body vehicle flex? Have you ever ridden in a citron? I may stand corrected, but I think they are uni body. It has been many years since I have ridden in one, but the ride was as smooth as it gets.

I would argue that a uni-body does flex. The question would be: how much does it flex? In another lifetime, when I worked for Ford, our group did a stress analysis of a uni-body automobile. If there were no flex, there would be no stress to analyze.
