One last thing is that the VAG did not purchase Porsche but in fact Porsche purchesed the controlling interest VAG to keep other auto comapnies form buying the VAG and dismanteling all but the most Elite of the VAG companies. please do better research before you post a story about the strongest and most valuable brand worldwide. Thank you form a longtime fan of VW.

They are doing exactly what GM did 80 years ago and that worked untill Americans had to pay the sort of fuel prices the rest of us do. VW takes over brand names and customizes its range into the local product ie Seat Skoda Audi. All the super cars share running gear tech with each other and people love them and pay huge money its a successful business model that GM used for years. A range of products sharing common parts to reduce costs. Dont believe me? have a good look through your car IQ. GM is down to 4 well no they arent Holden is GM in Australia Daewoo is GM owned and 35% of Opel still give them access to european floorpans etc its really only the US divisions that went under and your carIQ sure shows why that happened.
