I can't fault Porsche's investment in VW. Financially, it seems to be a smart move. Where I do find fault is the Porsche name being spread across the entire auto industry. Porsche has serious name recognition as a prestige marque. Lower priced, higher volume, "average" vehicles will chip away at their status as an aspirational brand. People don't pay 6-figures for a Toyota.
