I see no difference between those examples (and some of the other things
people have sniped at) and VW/Audi.  Large corp. (VW) owns some old
trademarks (Audi & the other 3 rings) and revives one name and the logo
to label a new line of cars.  Huge numbers of shared parts, technology
and platforms while marketed as distinct products.
