If there is one manufacturer that had started the badge engineering to a whole new level, it is General Motors. With a crazy number of brands to begin with (we suggest you to check this link instead), it made sense to use one car and sell it under a number of brands to cut costs but at the expense of brand equity.

In order for a car to be counted on this list, the vehicle must have a different name using the same shell (exterior modifications are usually done) but sold under a different brand. And to avoid a super long list, we would limit vehicles which were launched from 1990s and above. Do take note the year range represents the entire vehicle line (including those of its twins) even if the original model was killed. In order to be listed, the base vehicle must be from a General Motor subsidiary so a Toyota or Nissan badged GM vehicle will not make a cut here.
So, which GM models wore different names but are basically the same?
