I don't see this ending well in the states. Perhaps the European market is that much different than the US market but really 3 versions of a car covering 1 part of a fairly small segment doesn't sound like a good idea.

Its funny people trash the American car companies for platform engineering and Audi does it with the A1 and this thing and no one saids anything......you would be foolish to spend so much on economy cars that have been restyled rebadged and given a price premium. If Lexus did a yaris variant, or Cadillac did an Aveo variant people would have issue with it......, no respect

Dude, half the lexus models are are based on Toyotas, nothing new here. I think the issue was with GM or Ford the different models were basically the same car with little attempt to change the price point. Get some fresh hate material, this is old....
