I have ~ 0 experience of twins (grand total of 1.5hrs ME instruction ) but it's obvious that Piper recycle everything.

Isn't a Seneca a Saratoga hull, with an extra engine, and the wings longer to compensate for the wing length lost by screwing the engine partway up it?

The IMHO ghastly looking "Piperjet" is a Malibu with a jet engine screwed partway up the vertical stabiliser.

The Matrix is a Malibu with the cabin bleed valves removed.

And the PA28 family??

Keeps the tooling costs down, for sure.
