There is no shame in sharing an engine around the empire, especially if GM manages to "do" the engine correctly. It makes sense to stretch each investment dollar as far as possible, and it's completely sensible to share parts that a significant majority of consumers-most of whom don't understand GM's brand structure anyway ("You mean Saturn isn't a Japanese brand?")-are unaware they're shared.
Besides, as others have pointed out, other successful companies have been at it for years. It's a "What's good for the goose is good for the gander" kinda thing.
