I assume you meant to inlcude Enclave instead of Outlook twice?
I make a distinction between platform sharing and cloning/badge engineering. As long as the vehicles are clearly different in terms of appearance and ... feel (Enclave vs Traverse for example), I don't have much of a problem with it. With the Saturn and the Outlook gone, I say the three remaining lambdas are different enough to justify their existance. It lets them cover the entire market for vehicles with that capability at lowest reasonable cost.
Contrast this against the Pontiac G3 Wave and the Chevy Aveo. They took an unloved car, gave it Pontiac badging and a better stereo and raised the price, then wondered why nobody bought the things
