Yes, there's a little bit simulair... the engine for example

The Porsche 914 was a project of VW and Porsche. In Europe they were sold as VW-Porsche 914 (nicknamed VoPo), but because of the name VW it wasn't exclusive enough, in America they were solled als Porsches and that turned out better.

(Porsche made that mistake later again with the Porsche 924 with an Audi engine...

Yes, the engine...down to tha last part # on 1.7's, there are no shared parts on the suspension except for the front brakes...and only a vague similarity between the suspension types. Ray
