Okay, but those platforms have been modified a bit in the Odyssey (lengthened, shortened, etc).
GM just rebadges them and calls it a day sometimes. That's just damn lazy.
Again, the wrappers are sometimes different (not so much for the Armada and the QX 56, but that's only one example).
Ford's badge engineered the Fusion, MKZ (or whatever it's called now) and the Mercury Milan. All the same cars underneath.
Although yeah, car manufacturers do share parts and badge engineer a lot, I think GM does it a lot more than all the others.
GM does it fairly often, however they do change a lot of the characteristics of the car, the design and whatnot so it is a bit harder to tell if the car is the same or not.
All car companies are guilty of rebadging at one point or another or letting a car be rebadged of their own.

I agree, remember Cerebus is in the business of making profits. Cutting car models is their way of streamlining the company and keeping costs down.
