Have you not missed the point slightly here?

The Aygo/C1/107 are the same car with different badges. What's a small Kia got to do with it?

I think OPs point is that the 3 cars mentioned are all the same car, with different badges. They are even built in the same facory. What does the Kia have to do with that? Same car again?

And of course, not forgetting possibly the ultimate in badge engineering:

Now that's proper badge engineering. The sort where you could change the identity of the car with a screwdriver and some stickers and about 20 minutes alone with the thing.
