GM tries to mask differences in vehicle content and quality with slick ads, such as those comparing the price and size of Chevy SUVs to Lexus' offerings rather than Toyota's, and statements touting that Cadillac's reliability beats Toyota's although Lexus is the relevant yardstick for GM's luxury brands.
GM has been unable or is unwilling to address systemic cost and management problems within its corporate structure, and has increasingly leaned on parts suppliers to cut prices, not just to be competitive with overseas suppliers but also to compensate for GM's internal cost disadvantages.
The terrible losses GM has suffered in a rapidly growing U.S. economy and the recently announced plant closings are direct evidence that GM's costs are too high, and its strategies to compensate for its high costs have failed.

 VWvortex Forums: GM USDM FWD Letter Platform Family Tree
Where people are getting the "new A body" thing from is that the fourth designation in GM VIN's was the platform designation, like J or X. The US Delta car's fourth VIN character is an A, so some people are referring to them as the "new A body".
The J's are a good example of a platform that hardly changed at all (relatively speaking).
Ultimately, I think the GM area where "legacy" parts carry on the closest resemblance to their "parents" is the 60 degree V6.
