Actually i'm in favor of overlapping brands. Before you blow a fuse though here's why...
As long as everything is the same mechanically and structurally and the only difference is body panels and some interior and luxury features it can actually help rather than hurt. My mom thinks the GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook are uglier than sin, and the Traverse looks like a minivan but likes the Enclave. Same exact vehicle, but if not for the slight difference in Exterior styling, she'd be getting a Nissan Murano. All the money goes back to GM anyways so i think it's better to have people decide which version of your vehicle they want rather than which of the competition is better. I think that to cut down on costs (though i'm not sure how they do it) it would be best if they built all of them in the same facility. You'd have to bring in more equipment to the one that you pick and expand it a bit, but then you'd have all of the same "base" vehicle being built under one roof.
