They shared little enough that they weren't even built on the same line, IIRC.
Of course, as one half of a team which performed at least forty valve jobs on VW Beetles, I have a bit different opinion of the "made in the Black Forest by elves" mythology, too.

I had to buy a '66 Falcon in a hurry as a back to school car since my normal driver had some serious problems. My garage was full of parts from my '70 mustang project and I ended up swapping lots of HD suspension parts and a 289 motor out of a Bronco into that Falcon (a six banger) so I wouldn't feel so embarassed. everything was literally a bolt in.

Mike,
We've seen raining before so don't blame Wally for coming up with that header.
The problem is simple: when smaller companies are swallowed by large organisations, often the business changes. It's the share holders that put a lot of pressure to get some money back over their investment. They don't care about what they're selling, they just want money back. Usually, companies making high end products in a very competitive market aren't as profitable as their competitors.
Let me tell you that chances are that this TTI company may take advantage of the very high esteem that Milwaukee is enjoying in the field right now to start pumping up some lesser quality products.
Just my 0.02.

What they are really saying in the email is "China"!!! Translation on more competitive and innovation ("CEO Talk") Eliminate competition, manufacturing moved to China or Taiwan whichever gives them better deal, Innovative design to decrease material cost, increase profits and life expectancy of product.
