Edit: I agree that they should have a different feel to them each, but I'm not sure whether it will - or won't - turn out that way, and I'm leaning towards no....

Ichi, I think we need to agree to disagree.... I don't think there is enough room to fit everything in front of that very small overhang, you think otherwise? Agreed? (I agree that Subaru could do it, but I think it would take quite major modifications, and that's not part of my argument :P )
and 90s pretty much across the line (laser/323, probe/mx6, telstar/tx5/626) not just same engine either, more or less just different lights and bumpers. and this example is cus i have a 323 and have looked in to it a bit, there are many other examples of badge engineering but im not going in to that any more.. everyting in these 2 cars should be the same, the one version might come with more or less options. they will have different lights/bumpers/hood and possible fenders/interior.. but thats just skin.. underneath all the same.
