Most mainstream vehicles have at least one mechanical twin, if not many.

Toyota uses the Camry "platform" for a bunch of stuff (mostly all North American market products):
*Camry & Camry Solara
*Avalon (stretched camry)
*Lexus ES300
*Sienna (built on the same assembly line as camry using many camry parts)
*Highlander (mini-van based cross-over SUV)
*Lexus RX300/RX330

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Don't forget Seat and Skoda variants. And that is just current gen, upcoming stuff will be even broader.

if its GM... then its not original.

Actually... its pathetic how much they just take a car, tweak it a tiny bit... slap a different logo on it and sell it at a higher price. Sad really.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Why? The Neon chassis is quite good.... and the PT is extensively modified... and you can't buy the 2.4L N/A motor in a Neon.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">So that would make it Golf/Jetta/New Beetle/Audi TT/Audi A3/Seat Leon/Seat Toledo/Skoda Octavia

And then Passat/Audi A4/Skoda Superb

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The Lincoln Continental is a different FWD platform.

The Jaguar S-Type, Lincoln LS and Thunderbird are all on the same RWD Platform.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The Epsilon platform is new. Designed by Opel (GM Germany) and first comming out in the Opel Vectra and Saab 9-3. In the future, the Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac Grand Am and Saturn L will also use the Epsilon platform. Since the Epsilon was designed in europe (like the focus) it may be a very good platform.

Currently Chevrolet Malibu, Oldsmobile Alero and Pontiac Grand Am use the home grown N-Body platform.

And speaking of GM:
Pontiac Grand Prix / Oldsmobile Intrigue / Buick Regal / Chevy Impala / Chevy Monte Carlo

Buick LeSabre / Pontiac Bonneville

Pontiac Montana / Chevrolet Venture / Pontiac Aztek / Buick Rendezvous
