There are some nice synergies between the two companies. Porsche often puts engines on the wrong end of its cars, and VW usually puts transmissions on the wrong end of its cars. Maybe they can pool their resources and develop a FWD, rear-engined automobile.

howsmydriving, you are absolutely correct: Wendelin Wiedeking is trying to extract Lower Saxony’s penis out of his rectum at the same time he needs to recover billions he waisted on non-performing stock in WV. Obviously, he has a bigger problem up his ass then engine in the wrong place.

Wendelin Wiedeking, has nothing to worry about really, the EU is helping him in trying to get rid of Germany’s VW Law, so Porsche will eventually gain control of VW, this seems like a smokescreen.

What retard Germany congressfolk brought VW law back anyway?

All they need to do is add a few busty hausfraus, a secret ex member of the Third Reich that you never see, breathtaking alpine scenery and a robust theme based on Falco’s Der Kommissar and you’ve got the makings of a great Deutsche prime time soap in the finest traditions of Dallas.

johnny, you should visit the ranch where they filmed Dallas.

What I don’t get is why do they want VW? It’s like MB buying Chrysler, made no sense. Chrysler buying MB, now that would have made sense but that didn’t happen. So unless VW was going to take controll of Porsche then what is the point?

Because unlike Chrysler, VW actually sells and makes cars that are appealing to a lot of people. The Golf, the Jetta and the Bug for instance have been pretty popular for a while. Porsche would help improve almost everything about VW’s similar to what Audi did to Lamborghini or what BMW did to Mini. It would not make sense for a struggling company like a Chrysler to take over a great company like MB. And definitely wrong for VW to takeover arguably the best car company in the world in Porsche.

brocky, it is the other way around, Porsche is trying to take over VW.

exactly ^^^

heres what will happen brocky:
Audi R8: GONE
Audi R4: will never happen
lambo will get sold off or sent far far away from any porsche product
bentley will go back to nothing but unreliable huge overpriced 6.75l cars and any GT that may compete with the panamera or perhaps a new porsche 2+2 will be gone, aka continental line. porsche is just going to **** up VW until nothing competes with their cars.

Damn! It’s like these f*ckers can’t take no for an answer, can they?!? Like I said countless times before, we don’t need no $50,000 Beetles with a Porsche logo plastered on top.

Uhhh your wrong Brocky!! Chrysler was doing quite well BEFORE MB ****ed with it! When I had a Concorde people actually stopped me and asked “what kind of car is that?” “who makes that?” So it would have been FAR better for Chrysler to take over MB and show those Germand retards how to more that bloated, over priced, snob-mobiles!!! As for VW…. Ha! I had a rabbit and the piece of **** broke down all the time. The same part would break every year without fail! That’ll be several hundread dollars sir! But still Porsche would be a good buy for them. Maybe help them LOWER the cost of there cars and make something more than an old out dated designs!

1c3d0g, I doubt we would ever see a Beetle rebadged as a Porsche.

That needs repeating.

Porsche would destroy VAGs performance cars. Porsche may be a great sports car maker but they make too much money per vehicle. I am not against anyone making money, but Porsche charges too much for options that be standard. (e.g. xenon lights on a $75K car should be standard, not a $1900 option.)

I like Porsches, but I will never buy a new one and support this BS.

Go VW

Renton, Porsche is a business, the point of a business is to make a profit, they owe it to their shareholders, so there is not such thing as making too much profit on a car.
