There is a very interesting article in Der Spiegel ( in English) detailing the family tensions and the background to those tensions, that has lead to VW absorbing Porsche. All the main players, Wiedeking excepted, are descendents of Dr. Porsche. The Porsche's seem to be a tad more likeable that the Piech's.
Oh, and if there's anyone out there that would like to fire me from my job and give me an Euro50M golden parachute, please step forward,
