Nice troll. Platform engineering allows a company to do the non-customer-noticed stuff once and do it well, and spend their money on things that the customer cares about to differentiate products. Do you really care if the struts on your Mercedes are the same as on a Dodge minivan? Or do you care about things like the navigation system and leather seats? So why do you care that the same platform is used on the Malibu as on the 9-3 (among others)?
