Those are different brands with different names marketed by the same parent
company, while the current Struts situation is different products marketed
with the same name, so I don't understand your point.

But cars are a good example of the type of branding being attempted
with Struts. Why does Ford keep marketing a model like the Mustang that
it has changed so radically over the years, instead of calling it something
else?

Because they are banking on the familiarity and (hopefully) the good
reputation of the name among the general buying public; to the marketeers,
any connection between the name and the content is irrelevant.
