No "Sharing" about it. They are owned by VW now. VW can take.
I hope to see some amazing VWs come out of this merger. Zach |

They can have the Panamera platform as far as I'm concerned.
And I'm hoping to see some amazing Porsches come out of this merger. By order of Herr Piech! I also read that the VW and Porsche holding companies might be called Auto Union. |

I actually think this could give some really amazing sports cars for a lot less$$$$. Of course the Porsche lines will always be the top shelf product but to make a great low end racer would be great for VW. Someone has to do something about this Miata epidemic.

i think they consider the marriage will result in one of the most powerful brands imaginable, and will be a top transportation player globally.
if they don't do the job, i'll be surprised. and disappointed. |
