Your remark "platform sharing =/= rebadging"... What has it got to do with the cars you mention?

Platform sharing = ie. VW golf/Audi A3. Two different cars, with the same chassis setup. Not two almost identical cars with different badges/grilles.

SEOD.

AN OPEL INSIGNIA IS NOT A REBADGED CHEVROLET.

What I am referring to is the fact that the Verano shares a platform with the Cruze, the Encore shares a platform with the Sonic, and the Enclave shares a platform with the Traverse. That being said, they are not rebadged Chevrolets, but they do share the same platform. Nowhere in my post do I ever mention that the Regal is not a rebadged Insignia.

So sick of people trying to lecture me on GM products.

Hold your horses... and reread post #25:

You stated "A Regal is not a rebadged Chevrolet", which I quoted.

I said: No, you are right. It is a rebadged Opel Insignia.

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.

You two are arguing over nothing.

Please stop

Sorry Fenwick, it didn't work.

FenwickHockey65 · 12-27-2011, 03:15 PM

Should work now.

FenwickHockey65 · 01-04-2012, 08:15 PM

And again...

*DGthe3* · 01-04-2012, 08:23 PM

1st shot: ok ... I think ... maybe ...
2nd shot: hmm, not bad ... could be nice
3rd shot: WTF?

FenwickHockey65 · 01-04-2012, 08:32 PM

That's not the best shot of it honestly. It looks all right. Some interesting lines around the rear.
