Most car companies share models with other companies just re badged. E.g. Toyota 86/subaru brz. Holden astra/opel.
Tbh most car companies actually design and release bugger all. Toyota for example have run basically the same model vehicles for like 20+ years. With each year just modifying the last iteration. They rarely develop more than one vehicle at once from the ground up.
- martin8412 3y agoHolden, Vauxhall, and Opel are the same company with different badges depending on the market. Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ are jointly developed car models. Volkswagen Group develops a lot of different car models. Sure, they are using the same platforms across subbrands, but the subbrands compete with each other within the VW Group.
- nradov 3y agoUnlike Teslas, Toyotas are generally pretty good cars which tend to run reliably and have parts that fit together properly. So, there's no need for them to completely start from scratch on each new model generation although many of the parts are changed. Currently they offer 16 different vehicles in the US market (more if you count Lexus and foreign markets), 3 of which are shared with other manufacturers. New generations of each are typically launched about every 6 years for the high volume vehicles.
