So when are the Journalists going to report how good one is against the other when they are both the same apart different wheels and badges.
Why do they try to fool us that one is better than the other, do they get backhanders ?
The same with the Suzuki Alto/Nissan model, and such as the Peugoet/Fiat/Citroen van range also the older Ford Fiesta/Mazda.
You've an over-simpified view of the motoring industry. What you're saying is because a vehicle shares a platform, it's the same as all the others.
A Kia C'eed is the sister car of the i30, but they're really quite different. They don't drive the same at all. The Octavia share a platform with the Golf and A3. Same? No. Mk3 Mondeo and Jag X-Type share a platform, and they're very, very different.
My folks have an old-shape Mazda 2 (the Fusion-like one). It has a Mazda MZR engine, not a Ford. The dash is Mazda (complete with baffling Japanese stereo with Minidisc!), and it drives totally differently to the Fusion. The 2 has really sporty setup for a car driven by OAPs like my parents.
Long gone are the days of the 121/Fiesta where they did nothing but stick on a different badge in the factory.
