Re: 4two+2

If it makes you feel better to think of badge engineering as platform sharing, that's fine by me!

Re: 4two+2

I do agree that its a pointless arguement these days for a car that has been out of production for years now.

I believe thats what I said.......about 5 pages of rubbish ago!!!

No wonder this site takes so long to load, and keeps saying 'server is too busy'......it's the million pages of **** on here!!!!

Re: 4two+2

*in your opinion. I think that's half the problem here (and I've said this before) people can't seem to differentiate between fact and opinion.

so in your opinion, the forfour isn't a smart for the **** reasons you made up but the FACT is that it is a smart because it says so on the back!! jeez!! you merc drivers are just infuriating

Pretty much, yes! I know it's really a smart, but for the reasons I laid out, I still wouldn't consider it to be 100% smart, but that's just my opinion. I'd quote *that in my signature, but I don't want to fork out another tenner to do so

Voltaire - I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it.

doesnt make me feel better, its just what it is. They are two very different things.

Ian, I have no idea why your having problems with the site not loading, no problems here!

Re: 4two+2

Oh - so now it's not 100% smart??

So the wheels aren't smart as they have 4 bolts?? (true - mine are BRABUS ones)
The engine in the back makes it a smart?? Is that the merc engine that should be in the back or the Mitsubishi one??

When you have the simple facts in front of you, it's amazing how some people manage so easily to blur them to suit their own needs......

Crazy people

I was going to buy a Lamborghini Gallardo but now you have convinced me it's not a Lambo! It's not got Lambo doors and it has VAG powertrain - shame!!

Re: 4two+2

No, its platform sharing

Badge engineering when different companies involved (no matter that they own shares in each other).
Platform sharing within the same company.

I was going to buy a Lamborghini Gallardo it has VAG powertrain - shame!!

The fvck it has.

Re: 4two+2

but at the time, smart and mitsubishi were connected within the same group of companies, even if what you say is correct.

Re: 4two+2

yes it does.............!!

Lambo is owned by Audi (VAG company - A = Audi)

Its a quatro drive train...
Has a rebadged DSG gear system - E-Gear
and an audi v10 based on the v10 S6 and S8 engines

do you know anything about cars??

Re: 4two+2

Do you reckon if we went on a Bentley forum people would be saying the GT was a VW?

Re: 4two+2

Well it can't be a bentley....... It doesn't look like the first bentley....

Re: 4two+2

more than likely. Mind you, can you imagine what the Aston Martin forums were like the day the Cygnet (prime example of badge engineering btw) was revealed??
