New POD Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 When I had my Mk3 Mondeo I had a front spring snap (as they often do) - changing the strut I noticed the bracket supporting the brake flexi was stamped "Jaguar" I love winding up Range Rover Sport types by pointing out it's a Disco 3 but with less space The volume of BMW content in R75/ZT is silly too - especially the frankly weird electrical systems. Is the Evoque just a Freelander 1 ? Please let it be true. Say it is Please. Our BINI gen1 responds well to a BMW specific OBD2 reader. I assume the Body Kanbus is similar.

bramz7 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Badge engineering is something the Italians have down to a T. 1991 Innocenti Koral. by Sam Osbon, on Flickr A Yugo 45, based on a Fiat 127, then sold in Italy as the Innocenti Koral. There was also this weirdness: 1990s Innocenti Mille. by Sam Osbon, on Flickr So for a while in the 90s, Fiat sold the Brazilian made Uno as the Innocenti Mille. But then you also had: 1990 Fiat Uno CS. by Sam Osbon, on Flickr The Uno CS, the Fiat badged version. 1987 Fiat Duna. by Sam Osbon, on Flickr But then also the Duna, which was a saloon. 1997 Innocenti Mille 1.0 i.e. by Sam Osbon, on Flickr But then there was also the Innocenti Mille 'Clip' which was a Polish made Uno sold after the original Uno was withdrawn in Italy. Phew. They also sold the 127 after the Uno replaced it, but made the South American examples, yet again.. 1986 Fiat 127 Unificata. by Sam Osbon, on Flickr 1984 Fiat 127 Panaroma. by Sam Osbon, on Flickr Also sold as an estate. Confusingly the earlier Uno's badged as the CS were more based on those foreign 127s, but those were called 147s in their home (South American markets). Basically, Fiat has always platform shared incestuously. Then there was the Iveco Daily, which in its first generaton was badged as: Iveco.Fiat.Alfa Romeo.OM And the second generation was sold as a Zastava Daily as well. I am sure this is just the tip of the iceberg here. 1980s Alfa Romeo AR8 & 1996 Citroen AX. by Sam Osbon, on Flickr Lacquer Peel, Alusilber, warren t claim and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrcento Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Platform sharing is not the same as badge engineering.The mondeo/x-type thing isn't even really platform sharing. They share a %age of components but their platforms are different, x-type one is based on the Mondeo but hugely modified. The L322 and x5 are similar, they share a few components, engines etc but have wildly different hardware put on them. It's much more than just a few badges and trim bits.

martc Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Which also makes me think of the bubble cars, Trojan, Isetta, Henkel and BMW, but can't remember which one is a copy of which. Isetta is the model name for the BMW bubble car. The original design was the Italian Iso Isetta, BMW bought the design and tooling but continued with the model name. The Isetta was also built by VELAM (France), De-Carlo (Argentina) and Rommi (Brazil), always using the Isetta model name. original Iso BMW VELAM De-Carlo Romi Note the subtle differences, in particular the headlamps. The original Iso and the Romi and VELAM versions windows look very similar to the Heinkel. The Iso dates from 1953, the Heinkel from 1956.. anonymous user 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
