That also isn't the only example of platform sharing. For example, all of these were built on the same platform (and with variations, the same manufacturing line):

Audi A3 Mk2 (8P) Audi TT Mk2 (8J)[1] Volkswagen Touran (1T) Volkswagen Caddy (2K) SEAT Altea (5P) Volkswagen Golf Mk5 / GTI / R32 / Rabbit Mk5 (1K) Škoda Octavia Mk2 (1Z) Volkswagen Golf Plus (5M) SEAT Toledo Mk3 (5P) Volkswagen Jetta Mk5 (1K) SEAT León Mk2 (1P) Volkswagen Tiguan (5N) Volkswagen Scirocco (13) Volkswagen Golf Mk6 (5K) Škoda Yeti (5L) Volkswagen Jetta Mk6 (1K), (16) Audi Q3 (8U) Volkswagen Beetle (16)

Who really gives a fuck when the end products sharing the same platform could be drastically different. C&D I think had an article not so long ago asserting that platform sharing frequently is irrelevant for the consumer. Mazda 3 and ford focus are tuned in such a way that their consumer base hardly overlap. I doubt there is even as much cross shopping between the two as between apple and samsung clienteles.

The point was that Nashton was making a big deal about his Q7, and tried to tell us it was unique. In doing so, he used his usual insulting names to -hh. I just felt like spending a couple of minutes showing him how wrong he was.

Oh boys, it's gonna take you a lot more than a few minutes to prove me wrong.

Try harder, next time.
