Porsche may not have a controlling stake in Volkswagen just yet, but the German sports car maker will get another voice on the Volkswagen supervisory board. VW announced on Thursday that Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche has been nominated to replace Heinrich von Pierer on the board.
In addition to Porsche, the board also nominated Lower Saxony Prime Minister Christian Wulff and his finance minister to another term on the supervisory board.
According to Automotive News, von Pierer was the former CEO of Siemens, but was forced to step down after a bribery scandal.

Still shocks me a little bit to hear this, I hope Porsche does well with Volkswagen.

You guys are wicked rude.
VW is going to be forced to kill the Phaeton and the giant glass factory they built for it.

This “merger” has some real synergies: a company that think engines belong in the back of the car, and a company that thinks transmissions belong in the front.

And we’re supposed to give a sh*t? Why? I could give a f*ck if they were on the board of the Transylvanian blood exchange. Just build some f*cking cars and get on with it!
