No, I don't mean stretching. I mean a larger fuselage about the same size as the 737, but using the design and technology of the E2. It would save Boeing having to start from scratch in designing a completely new FBW 180 seater aircraft. Why else would Boeing be interested in buying Embraer's commercial division? The regional aircraft market has never been their niche.
