Replying to: saaboy (Jul 01, 2005 8:28 pm) It's possible to share a platform between cars of different size classes. The Odyssey, Pilot, MDX, and Ridgeline all share a platform. You can make the frame longer if you want, and cut down on development costs... The Camry, Highlander, Sienna, and RX330 share a platform... If you look around and actually think about it, a lot of cars share platforms nowadays, despite being sized differently. And No, the 3 and 5 Series don't share platforms. BMW has enough $$$ to build seperate ones, but the 5 Series and X5 share platforms, as do the 3 and X3.

I saw my first 97x across the street from where I was getting a slice. It looked quite attractive from the front when I walked past it, the saab grill is a great touch. The car just happened to be black. As I am eating my pizza a black trailblazer parks right behind it. An amazing coincidence that proved the overall distaste for design in GM. Saab a company that has always had quite varying designs from the rest has finally fallen victim to the invasion of the GM (car) body snatchers. Check out some pics on carlist.com chevy = 27,000 saab = 38,000 |

>Because the alternative would be nostalgia. Nostalgia would be better. Nostalgia is inevitable for every make of car, what matters is how it is met. Seeing the frankenSaabs on the road for a few more sad years has now taken most of the nostalgia away from me. These simply are not saab cars. Why do so many people pretend they are by even making reference to the past? The name was bought in order to sell other cars. |
