Well...they do have different body styles and to a certain extent different
dashboards, but the VW Golf, VW Bora, VW Beetle, Audi A3, Audi TT, SEAT
Toledo, SEAT Leon and Skoda Octavia all share the same underpinnings and
drivetrains. As does the VW Passat, Audi A4 and Audi A6...so badge
engineering still exist, although a bit more sophisticated than in the 60's.
