Where did I mention anything else about the other cars being "rebranded Chevrolets"? Fact is, even if it may not be sold in the US, the Regal is a rebranded Opel. Which is a lot more than all the other cars sharing platforms with other cars in the range, no? To which (platform sharing) I even said that rebranding as a lot more than just using the same platform.

Anyway... Carry on, nothing to get upset about.
The whole start of this was a guy saying incorrectly that Buick was not getting a rebadged Chevrolet for the first time. I posted a list of the current Buicks, none of which are rebadged Chevrolets. Nowhere in my post did I say that no Buicks were rebadged Opels. You're the one who went off on a massive tangent, insisting that the Regal was a rebadged Insignia (which I know it is) even though it had nothing to do with the original post I was replying to.

If you're confused about my "Platform sharing =/= Rebadging" comment, I was referring to the fact that the majority of Buicks utilize the same platform as Chevrolets, but are not direct rebadges. Again, NOWHERE did I mention that a Regal is not a rebadged Opel. The entire post was about Chevrolet. Opel had NOTHING to do with it.
