	Badge re-engineering: updated Freestar aims for its fair share of a resurgent minivan market - Product Automotive ...
		This allowed more room for a larger engine cradle with a liquid-filled engine mount that isolates engine noise and vibration from the cabin and a powertrain roll restrictor that eliminates the jerking motion that occurs during shifting events as the power train jounces around.
		Engine noise was reduced by adding a free-flowing intake manifold to the 3.6L and 4.2L V-6s.
		Engineers worked extensively with the body assembly plant making sure that body tolerances were tightened up and that uniform seal gaps were maintained around the body.

		One solution is for Girl Scout leaders who are active birders is to petition their local GSUSA Council to create a "council own" bird study proficiency badge.

		This differs from historical badge engineering in that the other twins/triplets/quadruplets/etc. are not going to be for sale anywhere near each other.
		As for Re-badging, it doesn’t matter however GM wants to redefine “Badge Engineering”, one thing is clear that “Badge Engineering” has evolved with the “Flattening of the World”.
		With that kind of the diesel engine/electric engine mix, the range would be insane, the eco-footprint would be super light, and the torque would kick some major butt.

	Morris 1100 in Australia - Badge Engineering
		This was beneficial to all parties involved due to the savings of shared resources, but in order to satisfy the brand loyal buyers of the individual marques, new BMC models were usually released with a superficially customised version for each marque, a practice which has become widely known as "Badge Engineering".
		The Morris 1100 was originally released in England (August 1962) and shortly after, the MG 1100 version was offered featuring a twin-carb engine in keeping with MG's sportscar heritage.
		With the volume sellers established, BMC released and the aristocratic leather and walnut trimmed Vanden Plas Princess 1100 and finally, in 1965, the upmarket Wolseley and Riley versions.
