	Badge engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Badge engineering is a term that describes the rebadging of one model of car as another.
		Language problems can also mean that a car has to be given a different name in a certain country (for example, the Mitsubishi Pajero is called the Montero in Spanish-speaking countries), although this may not constitute badge engineering, as the car is still sold under the same brand name.
		While originally, differences were confined to the badges used on the model, more typically it involves slight styling differences, usually with different headlights and rear lights.

	Automotive Industries: Badge re-engineering: updated Freestar aims for its fair share of a resurgent minivan market - Product
		Engineers at Ford's Advanced Engineering Center used laser holography to take an image of vibrations created by the minivans body.
		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.
		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.

	Trollhattan Saab: "Badge" vs "Re" engineering
		There would be "badge engineering", where minor cosmetic differences are the main change (9-2X), then there's "re-engineering" as you coin it, where they take an existing car and modify and upgrade it (9-7X), then there's "platform sharing" where they're given a platform and/or engine to build on and let loose (like the 9-3).
		But the problem is, I don't want it to be another car with some new sheetmetal and a few badges.
		But I think it's a good time to remind ourselves that there are engineers and designers working on these cars.

	2004 Buick Rainier - The Car Connection
		It was just a few years ago that the automakers, especially General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, all were talking about really doing away with the practice, which basically amounts to slapping a different badge and grille on a vehicle already sold by one of the company's divisions.
		There is additional sealing for sound in the engine compartment, all four doors, the windshield, front window glass and near the rear windows.
		I found wind and engine noise to be minimal.
