DISQUS

If GM is doing what they often used to do... the sheet metal will swap, but a lot of things wont, not even within the same model. Whoever bid the cheapest on subassemblies gets the business, even if its rip and redo the internals. Some yrs ago, a Malibu had 3 different wiring harnesses, as did its badged counterparts. If you were lucky, things might swap... but not always, and not even Malibu to Malibu of the same year!

I tend to agree with Ron. There are some distinct differences between the Silverado and the Sierra that in some cases, you won't be able to swap over without some serious work. I love my Sierra!

The thing is, "I'm not a fan of rebadging" doesn't equate with "I won't evar rebadge." I think it more points to the fact that he doesn't want to have to give up everything that he loves the most, which seems to be the G8. It may be that the current rebadging is something that he simply HAS to tolerate in order to keep profits up enough to keep the G8 in it's current form?

I dunno really. It's an auto-industry exec, so he is probably genetically gifted in the art of talking out of his mouth AND anus.
