Lets compare my two vehicles. I have a 1997 GMC pick-up, and a 2004 Pontiac Montana van. They have treated my family good, and I have had good 'luck' with them so far (never been left stranded). I've always been a loyal General Motors fan ...guess I stick to things that are familiar to me and won't really tinker with the unknown. My wife says that's my downfall... oh back to my essay.
They are both made out of the same company, so shopping for parts is easy. I can go to the dealership that I work at and all the stuff there. Just like one stop shopping to save time. Then they both have the same exterrior color as well. Did not mean for it to happen that way, just did. Belive it or not some of the parts are interchangable, like the light bulbs, various fluids and lubricants, and they use the same battery even.
They are both used daily, and are subjected to alot of driving, so they both are in need of service rather frequently. Just so happens I fix my own vehicles which saves my family lots of money. It's rather easy when they take the same fluids, so servicing them is easier. I buy oil by the case, and use the same ramps, and change oil usually at the same time.
Both of the vehicles have automatic transmissions, and engines are of the V-type and are also pushrod engines also. same theoretical design in alot of wierd ways. The rear wheels are driven by the powertrain in both applications too.
It's wierd how differently they look, but still hold lots of simmilarities too.

Not enough of a point--two GM products have some similarities. Okay, but what do you want to say about those similarities? What is the bigger view of cars, GM, maintaining vehicles--something to give the essay a little depth.
