Other twins
 
So we call our cars twins but they really could be called triplets, BRZ/FRS/GT86. Over the recent past automotive history what others have been produced? I'm talking about trim differences, maybe some interior or even body panels are different but not as extreme as platform sharing creating essentially different cars like Cutlass/Grand Prix/Monte Carlo/Skylark/Chevelle.

Honda Passport/Isuzu Rodeo, Chevy Suburban/GMC Yukon XL/Caddy Escalade EXT, Subaru WRX/Saab 9.2X, Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky.

There have to be more...

Eagle Talon / Mitsubishi Eclipse

Mitsu Mirage/Dodge Colt
GMC Envoy/Chevy Trailblazer
Pontiac Transport/Olds Silhouette

Add Plymouth Laser to the DSM set.

If we include cross regional twins, a bunch can be included, but I suspect that's not what you had in mind as those are basically the same car branded for its own domestic market.

Just about every Chev, Pontiac, Olds and Buick made between 1950 and when they stopped making each model line.

Same for Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth.

And Ford and Merc!

Technically triplets, you forgot the Plymouth Laser

kinda splitting hairs here, but the wrx/saab 9.2x wasn't a true twin. Huge differences in shell and trim. The only shared was the drivetrain (and chassis?)

I think you're correct. Just a Rex with different sheet metal.

Mazda B trucks and Ford Ranger
All the USDM makers re-badging small imports in the 70s and 80s

That's what happened to Detroit.
No, we don't want to make sensible cars here to keep the country going.
We build pig barges! Always have, and always will!

Don't forget ALL of the australian versions of Ford/Chevy cars.
