That is what GM and Ford do. They have multiple sub companies under the big company and they offer various variations of the same car to meet the needs/wants of more people. It is also cheaper to use the same platform many times and just change the cosmetics/interior then to make totally different vehicles. Every company that has multiple divisions does it in some form or another.
