Okay,  I'll change it back to Triumphs:

Someone (of Triumph factory  experience) once said that the T2000/T2500 
and Dolomite were "Badge  Engineered", so I wonder what chassis or 
platform series they formed for  what other manufacturers?



==AM==
That makes little to no sense to me. The 2000/2500/2.5PI are related to  what 
ultimately became the Dolomite mostly in that they share similar styling.  
What ultimately became the Dolomite started in the mid-1960s as the Triumph  
1300, at that time a front-wheel-drive car. The FWD continued into the 1970s,  
but the car was also redesigned for rear-wheel-drive as the Toledo, still with  
the 1296cc engine. Evolutions of that RWD chassis ended up with the  
slant-4-engined Dolimite.

Triumph Herald engine with   wings.
