Really good news about the Porsche/VW merger
Porsche takes control of full-size car development at VW Group - Automobile Magazine
For those of us concerned about the merger, this is great news - Porsche will be allowed to develop all sports cars, while Audi/VW keeps sedans and SUVs (though future Cayennes will be Audi developed).

I never knew Porsche owned the majority share of VW at one time. I looked at who they own - very interesting! Audi, Bentley Motors, Bugatti Automobiles, Automobili Lamborghini, SEAT, Škoda Auto, Scania and now Porsche joins the fold. That is a pretty impressive bucket of talent.

very facinating article @ how VW is leveraging synergies across divisions...it makes lots of sense to me from a business perspective, honestly.
