From a customer standpoint, I don't mind "borrowing" individual components that work well from different vehicles, but don't slap a new body on something, change one or two items, and call it different. It feels like companies are trying to be deceptive and are just out to make a quick and dirty dollar. It would be nice to see something different once in a while, just to mix things up.

On the other hand, from a company standpoint; if something works well, why not keep using it? No need to re-invent the wheel after all. Not to mention R&D and manufacturing costs are lower since many parts are recycled.

So, I can see both points.
