GM products? What's that saying, there's a sucker born every min. Give me a Honda any day. |

link title General Motors is no stranger to badge engineering – with not a single of its four remaining core brands able to claim a completely unique product offering – but our spy photographer have just spotted what may be the most egregious example in recent memory – the Daewoo LaCrosse.

"Whitacre said there's a strong sense of urgency inside the automaker to repay the billions GM owes in government loans. "I can't tell you when (we'll pay it back) but it'll be sooner than you think," Whitacre told a political science student who asked when the company would repay taxpayers."

Replying to: elias (Nov 10, 2009 2:15 pm) I see CTS, STS, Camaro, G8, Corvette as unique to each brand, but the others? |

Replying to: m4d_cow (Nov 11, 2009 3:04 am) The meta-question in this forum appears to be how uniqueness-to-a-single-GM-brand will affect new models and market share - what do you think about that? By having a Caddy version "Escalade" - doesn't GM make big-$ from folks willing to pay for extra plastic panels and shiny chrome-looking plastic bling on a Suburban?

Replying to: elias (Nov 10, 2009 2:15 pm) The G5 and the Cobalt were badge engineering. The XLR and the Vette aren't. They use platform sharing. All unique body work for both models and all unique powertrain for both models. Wasn't the XLR only avaliable as a hardtop convertible? If someone thinks the XLR and the Vette are badge engineering then Audi and VWs whole line is also badge engineering by the same standard. Hey you could say some Bentleys are just badge engineered Audis using that standard. |
