See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GM_platforms As far as build and design quality are concerned, those are only minimally related to the platform the car sits on. The engine, electronics, suspension, braking systems, etc, will all vary between vehicles sitting on the same platform. And build quality refers to the actual production line quality...since vehicles on the same platform are produced in various facilities, varying levels of quality will ensue. - tex "Incremental Jones" <no-nonospamet> wrote in message news:x9qVe.355$4T5.139nospamsvr17.news.prodigy.com... >A lot of GM cars are said to be built on the same platform.
