Did VW buy 90% or Ferrari or was this April Fools?

I have found a few reports that effective April 1, VW has bought Ferrari. It this reality or fairy tale?

Don't be rude. We talk about cup holders and "How many started with a VW Bug before they got a 911?" Rules are not set in mechanical stone.

It's Sunday. What the heck.

Slim pickings on Google. You know if it was real it would be massive.

My guess is a joke.

Well.....don't put it past VW from punking everyone with a April Fools joke....Porsche did this year with the breaking news of releasing a special edition Woodie Wagon version of the Panamera.

(They called out the April Fools in the phone number at the end of the article)

I'm still pissed my thread about a cool resto-mod got taken outta here and put in the Off Topic forum! Like frickin "Show pics of your Porsche and dog" belongs here? Yeah, I think an April Fools Day question fits right in line

If you wanted to be polite you could have answered the guy's question about VW buying Ferrari.

Lots of stuff in the 911 forum that shouldn't be... the 935 thread is over 300 pages and it certainly doesn't belong in the 911 Technical forum... maybe the 930 Forum or Off Topic.

I accidentally posted this here, I meant to put it in Off Topic.
