Right, but six to nine months ago Porsche had a 75% share and the word of the day was "takeover", not "merger". Today Porsche only has a 51% share and also has $9bn in debt. It's in a much weaker position than before.
they never had %75, they wanted to buy, but ran into difficulties with the state of lower saxony and the unions at veedub. they were getting delayed and the world market crashed, now they are almost belly up and the battle has started. if there is a merger, most likly VW will be running the show and Porsche will be part" of the holding. it will be an interresting summer.
