Similar thing in the automotive world in Europe.

Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1 & Peugeot 107 are all built in the same factory set up as a joint venture between Toyota & PSA Peugeot / Citroen.

They are all using Toyota running gear, the only bit's PSA Peugeot / Citroen supply are the wing side repeaters & the seats.

The only difference's between the 3 different cars are the trim, badging & some external body panels / lights.

The Toyota Aygo comes with a 5 year warranty & holds its second hand value well as it's seen as a small premium city car from a manufacturer with a reputation for looking after it's customers.

The C1 & 107 only come with a 3 year warranty & don't hold there second hand value well as there both seen as French from companies that cant build a reliable car & with a dealer network that doesn't know its backside from its elbow.

Same basic car, same factory, same people putting all 3 versions together, the Toyota Aygo is always seen as the better choice on the second hand market out of the 3 different versions as it's the one with a Toyota badge on it.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
