It's unfortunate, but car enthusiasts and reviewers absolutely shit on manufacturers for sharing parts across models and brands. "Parts bin" is used as a pejorative. Even though it means cheaper and better spare parts availability.

    That's the car media...which is the propaganda arm of the industry. They will wax on about vehicles, but never, ever, tell you if they are reliable or admit some brands just chronically make overpriced junk.

    People are fucking stupid. Chevrolet made a very affordable sports car with the Corvette C6 that outperformed various euro douche brands, but people could not get over the steering wheel was used on a Chevy Cobalt.

    When I hear parts bin I dont go straight to the negative I typically see it as creative like how some parts on some laborghinis share parts with completely different other cars (iirc one had headlights from a Nissan)
