Did know about that... but doesn't surprise me.
Bringing new products to market (good ones) takes time, money, and resources.
So, if they can spread those costs... profits will look better.
Just like cars.
Dunno about the peripheral platform sharing, but I like the blue 'un.
And about the cars, like the VW Sharan + Ford Galaxy + Seat Alhambra...
And the Ford Maverick and Nissan Terrano....
And the Citroen Saxo and Peugeot 106......
Even the mid size Jaguar (can't remember the model) shares the platform with the Ford Mondeo.
And the new Saab 95 has a Vauxhall Vectra floorpan....
I hate badge engineering. I remembers when you knew what was coming down the road at ya, now you have to read the badges.
Oh, for the good ol' days.
Thanks for the rant opportunity!
:edit: If the car names seem unfamiliar to people outside the UK.... It's 'cos I'm in the UK. :p
