The intension to differentiate form language is there. Sometimes sacrifices are made for cost or timing reasons....at least the quality is there. I do not agree that the Malibu and traverse are too similar. I believe Cadillac and Chevy are well on their way to design distinction...GMC and Buick have been in brand turmoil, during the last couple years with the juggling of sharing, and the eliminations of Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn. Opels and Buicks are now shared, but never sold in the same markets. GMC is moving to increased distinction from Chevy as witnessed by the ext. Terrain styling and the new small GMC Graphite. Even with many components shared between the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain, the IP uppers offer some significant differences.

Unfortunately, I can not take Government Motors serious anymore. All of these interiors are attractive.
