For example, (Toyota --> Lexus) or (Honda --> Infinity), do people go around who drive a Lexus or Infinity say they are driving rebranded Toyota's and Honda's respectively? Just like with AGF, the chassis/body are the same and no doubt both car brands are manufactured in the same plants, but Lexus and Infinity will get higher quality components installed which is what sets them apart, just like all these aftermarket servo brands who come up with their own specs to improve the half baked design by AGF... I would rather invest in a full baked design (NitroPro, Reefs, etc) with quality components than to waste any more of my money on the trash that AGF is selling.
end of the day, same company, same components, full leather interior isnt exactly higher grade running gear, i dont think theres a difference between a camry piston and a lexus piston... so with most these rebrands, i dont really think they are specing smc's, motors, fet's, gear ratios, im leaning they just pick a catalogued offering and slap a logo on em... ps... did you try the programmer with the ct1??
