Hey Mark....

Kind of a bizzare blend...

Chevy sells Chevy branded Suzuki's...Some of them used to be Geo's, then became Chevy's.

Some Suzuki's use Daewoo parts, etc.

Daewoo US is gone.  I think Chevy bought Daewoo Korea?  

Also chevy rebadged a toyota Corolla a few years ago with the bowtie emblem.

Geo Prism, Chevy Prism.

Ford had the Festiva and the Aspire.  Kia's?  One was, the other might have been something else.

That's what I heard.

[251am]

Aren't Daewoo cars sold as Chevys for 2005?

     Yes they are. That was part of GM's package when they bought those 4 or 5 DaeWoo plants in Korea; all the stock. Take a close look at a lot of the Chevy and GM stuff today, and look at a DaeWoo catalog from 97-02, it's rebadged DaeWoo crap. I think the Malibu wagon is one of many.

And theres even a high end platform sharing pair. Volkswagon Toureg and Porsche Cayenne. ;D

Almost forgot. Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Matrix share platforms. ;D

Nope, the new Malibu and Malibu Maxx are based on the Saab 9-3 and Opel Vectra platform.

Ford Five-Hundred, the Ford Freestyle, and the Volvo something or another.

Lincoln LS, Ford Thunderbird, the Ford Mustang, and one of the Jaguars.

Ford Escape and the Mazda something or another.

Ford Exploder and a Mazda.

Dodge Sprinter was a Freightliner made by MB.  Still underpowered, really.




Then there's the Pontiac AsZPack...uh, Aztek....


Who designed that?  I hope they were sent to Antarctica or something.  I didn't see any crossovers there...LOL!

The Jag you were looking at is the S-type

The Mazda version of the Escape is the Tribute

The Mazda version of the Exploder is the Navajo (which hasnt been made in a while)

I seen a MB Sprinter a few years ago when I worked at Geneva Vans. The Fed Ex guy had it. This was before Dodge got one.

Asstek, well who ever designed it I hope is on the unemployment line now. ;D

The Mercedes Sprinter was marketed under a co-op agreement with Mercedes and Freightliner.  MBUSA thought that Freightliner would be a good way to market the commercial vehicle.  Boy, did they think wrong.  Not enough distribution.  So, then it became a Dodge.

Now, I'd like to have a MB Unimog  8)  That thing is pretty cool  :D

[cornercamping]

and I agree, whomever designed the Aztek should be shot.

[H-man]

The Chevrolet Caprice of a couple years ago fits into that same WTF design category.  It was butt ugly. :P

They reverted it to serving as taxi cabs and police cruisers.

Yeah, but at least a commercial user can take the Sprinter and probably get emergency service on the road.  Dodge dealer...well, they are retail, so the service aspect is different.  

Unimog...LOL!  Yeah, there's this guy in Omaha that apparently looks like my twin and he's a Unimog freak.  I guess the US Government bought tons of them for Indian Reservations.  They really weren't used efficently, went into disrepair...and this guy bought them for, basically, peanuts.  I think they are like $114k and he was buying them for $5k to $14k depending upon the attachments...loaders, backhoes...LOL!
